On the day of judgment, there's going to be a lot of Christians facing a very unhappy surprise

I mean, even that is biblical. The passage in the Apocalypse about "What you did to the least of my brothers, you did to me" features a group of people claiming to be faithful being turned away just as they turned away the needy: "I don't know you, go away".

Which means we're back on the topic of reading one part but ignoring another. How can you vote to slash social security nets, then go to church and look at that cross, the symbol of the ultimate sacrifice and of a man that said "if anyone forces you to go one mile, go two, and if they demand your shirt, give them the coat too", with anything but shame and disgust at yourself?

In the Acts 5:1-10, there's a story of a couple that sold an acre and gave part of the money to their parish. They lied and said it had been the full amount to exaggerate the weight of their contribution. As per the response, they wouldn't have to give anything, but pretending it was the full amount was a deceit deserving of keeling over dead.

Yet televangelists pretend to do God's work, enriching themselves beyond measure. Guess that threat of punishment only works if you actually believe it.
