That pesky 9th Commandment

I wrote recently about the religious Fundies chasing people away from the church. I said it was because the message of the church had been distorted and then corrupted by its their attempts to play politics. That included the lies told as part of the political game. Here's another view of it that is quite simple. Forget the politics. The church lied to me, says a former believer. They violated the 9th Commandment and did so brazenly. The church was once the steadying force in the community with a strong reputation developed through helping the less fortunate. Now the church is known for its lies, bigotry, and hatred. What outsider would want to join that club?
