I Am Sick of People Arguing About Religion and Politics

I was watching this program where the host was asking a minister why did so many 'christians' supported the present administration even though it goes against a lot of what is in their scriptures. The minister response included the word 'hyprocrites' in it. As I listened to him speak, I realized that there's another reason why people go against their beliefs.

Because it is not their beliefs to begin with. In order to have a 'belief system', you need to educate and implement your beliefs. Many 'christians' do not read the Bible, nor study it, so they are totally ignorant of what is in it.

So I humbly request that to anyone who consider themselves 'christian', please, please educate yourself as to what a 'christian' is before you yell I am going to hell. Is that how the real Messiah would behave?...

Research some history of how the presently-accepted version of the Bible has been comprised, and the criteria under which sections were kept or discarded. To be a follower you need not do anything but obey, and for a great many people that appears to be acceptable in practice, else they would seek more.

@shaelan I agree, but I know Christians who are studied have a different approach to how they deal with others based on their belief systems. They don't tell people they are going to 'hell', or any foolishness like that. They are respectful in nature.

All religious institution exists to cater to those who are at that specific point (to which they cater) in their own spiritual evolutionary path, and so it remains valid the collection of such points include those where the followers tell people they are going to hell. Having said that, the tendency of humans to operate under personal agendas has led to corruption, and not only in matters religious.
