I have no time for church
And all it stands for -
Whatever that may be?
Our churches are barely half filled with
So-called Christians!
But what are they really?
Hypocrites. Cynics.
Hateful people who don’t give a toss!
All they care about is themselves.
They don’t care about the people they hurt
With their hypocrisy and cynicism.
They don’t care about
Being two-faced - it suits them.
Perhaps the people in our churches
Should take more notice of the
Kind, sympathetic, unselfish
Real genuine people
In the outside world.
If you ask me
They are the true Christians of this world.
They know how to help others.
They know how to be unselfish.
They don’t deal in lies
And deceit wrapped up as
Religion and being a Christian.
Religion? What is that?
Going to church because you have to?
Following the same boring old routine
Because it’s expected?
Going through the motions
Of this supposedly ‘exclusive club’
For people who like to think they are genuine!
Where is God in all this mess?
(If there is such a thing!)
Why does He let people behave like this?
Why don’t people genuinely care anymore?
I do.
I’m angry and bitter at this moment in time.
Perhaps I don’t really mean what I say?
But right now, this is how I feel.
The church has nothing to offer me.
No comfort. No strength. No love.
Nothing.
There is nothing here for me –
Except emptiness.

Yet you have your faith still? As in a recent poem: 'Christmas'.
There are some good churches, I believe. Though there is: 'Just because someone's in church, doesn't mean they are Christian'.
'The Lord will provide.....'Yep, he will for you, I say to a couple of church leaders who may have up to FOUR possible incomes in the same family - then they ask US for more!
the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
that which can control, will. that's how I think of it. I know some Christians who are trying to do good, yet they still follow and do as the "church" says. And I think that's where the problem lies. Churches are not led by a god. They are led my men who want to feel like god.
Thank you for your comment. Couldn't agree more.
