Indeed, it would at least be better if they acted like Jesus instead of just thanking him for his service and doing whatever the hell they want and then making a big show out of asking for forgiveness and being born again.

Yeah, and honestly I’m all on board with celebrating someone who really does turn their life around. It can be really tough to break the cycle. But so many of these folks are just outright hypocrites. They’ll go to church and listen to the preacher talk about the ten commandments and the sermon on the mount. They’ll say that those things should be law.

It’s gross.
