Expressing the following viewpoint in word is long overdue. It will hopefully forewarn gullible ones, who may have fallen into one of the many guises in the name of true religion.
Dissimulators.
I have watched the ritualistic in Sunday black leave their homes to sit uncomfortably in ugly churches, to listen to the soft voices of trained hypocrites giving their coffin-like sermons for the unreconciled lives of people; from homes where verbal abuse, greed, rage, hate, and cigarette smoke, continue unchecked to pollute their minds and air.
I have seen self-exalting preachers, who wear outlandish clothes to help them gain so-called credibility to deceive, with natures tailored for dim-sighted ones. Men who conceal the shame of teaching adult 'babes' their everlasting 'stumbling-blocks'; and begin by falsely christening new-born babes without reasoning minds, to remove any later thoughts on the proper meaning of the symbolic act of baptism --a vow offered up to God to serve His Will-- when they do have the power of reason.
I have seen these whitewashed grave-minders, with white banded collars and surpluses, revered in churches, bless military personnel to kill the enemy for their king and country, and in enemy countries, likewise. Living in shameless luxury, while speaking condescendingly about the poor.
I have heard these antichrists call the Son, God, and God, the Son, not knowing either. Even proclaiming Mary as the mother of God! Who then is their Mary's God? Implying that Christ anointed himself, and that God talked to Himself when he said: "This is My Son, the beloved, whom I have approved". (2 John 9. Matt 3:17).
