A Racist Christian. Isn't That Hypocrisy?

The Church is meant to be a place for people who may have been wounded and damaged by a sinful, cruel world (and by their own sin) to be able to go to find a welcoming home. It should be a place where a person can go to find peace, forgiveness, acceptance, friendship, refuge, rest and a sense of belonging. Sadly, for many it is not. Instead, many find the same bigotry, persecution and hatred that they experience in the world. For far too long the Church in the UK has shown contempt and egotistical racism towards certain people that just beggers belief. For far too long it has been a harbourer of selfish, bigoted attitudes. These ungodly attitudes have caused many genuine Christians who have been abused by these hypocrites to stumble, and many Christians and unbelievers to want absolutely nothing to do with the Church and it's hypocrisy. Could it be that some people who call themselves Christians are unwittingly doing the enemy's work? The answer is yes. If you happen to be one of these racist 'Christians', I sincerely hope you never criticize members of the BNP or any other Nazi party. At least they are honest about their racism.
