I grew up in the church. I was baptized as a baby. I have read the entire Bible from beginning to end. I went to Sunday school, Bible study, small groups and the list goes on and on. All those years of church going, there was always the sense of cognitive dissonance within me for different issues that came up. Usually, we lie to ourselves to mask some guilt related to a sin we think we are committing, but at the end of the day it's still a lie. So, there's more guilt and conflicted feelings about the need to lie to ourselves as well. Then there's the whole "create in me a clean heart...blah blah blah..." Anyway, but I digress....
Here are the lies.
1. Yes, I'm fasting, and no, I don't care if I lose any weight.
2. I'm not judging you. I just don't want your sin to rub off on me and the people I love.
3. All religions are the same. Just be a good person so you don't go to hell. (Hashtag #teamJesus)
4. It's not about the money, but I just know that God has something greater for me. (Hashtag #blessedAndHighlyFavored)
5. I forgive you. I just don't want to (insert simple nice gesture). Oh, and you're going to hell.
6. I'm a good person.
7. I love you...wait, love keeps no record of wrongs? Patient, kind...nah, that don't sound right.
