Even when I was still drinking the Jesus juice a decade ago I could see this in my church. It’s the main reason I left. Sermons would preach one thing, which the congregation would agree with, but then immediately after I would hear people gossiping about how Marsha has a gay son so she’s going to hell, or Tom’s daughter got pregnant out of wedlock so they were shunning them. I grew up with several of these peoples kids and knew for a fact they were nowhere close to saints. Rampant. Hypocrisy. It’s wild that they’re so willfully ignorant. It’s all just projection of their own guilt.
