After Sunday you stink of hypocrisy
Please don't waste your breath preaching to me
To me it's one big joke
as you line up for the *punch* line
Wearing your see through clothes 
and flaunting your plastered eyes
Keep funding your guilt 
as I kick back and criticize 
Pockets full of change
I wound not spare a dime

I find it ironic that Sunday is the Day of the Sun,
upon which day Christians worship;
yet Sun worship is a form of Idolatry,
accursed pagan Polytheism.

Strong, powerful as well as moving. Well written.

I find both poets and preachers liars the same. Strangely poets ask less for their lies, admit it freely, and sleep soundly. While preachers are high priced whores, where lies are god's word, and they sleep at night with the disease of their transgression blistering their souls.

George Fox saw and beheld so much hypocrisy that he fled all Meetinghouses....and sought the Light of God within Orchards, Meadows, and other sundry places. By 1647 or so, he had followers and whilst before a certain judge, they trembled at the name of God. Thus the slanderous name labeled them Quakers or the Religious Society of Friends. Some Quakers to this day, refuse to call the names of the Months or Days of the Week. Example: to-day is the Second day of week, Second month, seventeenth, 2014. Thus Quakers were wise in seeing the pagan gods within the Calendar system and created their own. (As did many Anabaptists...at least for years and years.) Fox told people to quit giving Tithes to large established Cathedral "Steeple Houses" and Churches, for they only used the Tithe to build expensive Monasteries, Universities, and other extravagant and unnecessary luxurious buildings and such. (Old Order Amish...to this day worship from within Home to Home. No Meetinghouse Building at all.) 

I would agree...it is better to not name Christ's name, than to name it and only deface and shame God's Messiah. The name Christian was first given to those in Antioch, and like Anabaptist, and Quaker terms, Christian was a slanderous term and only used...I think...twice within scripture. I would rather say, Followers of Christ, Followers of God, etc. I would not use Church unless I was referring to the Universal Body of Believers and not merely Local Fellowships, Assemblies, Meetinghouses, Steeple Houses, etc. (Thus the title would read: Meetinghouse Goers to me.) So called Christians, have done a lot of damage to the name of God and to the scripture! What a shame this is! How true you voice this, but I hang my head in shame that this is the state of the case! For not ALL meet this criteria though. Nicely thought through and very well written!!!!!!!~<3<3:):)&#9786;&#9788;&#9794;&#9792;&#9824;&#9829;&#9827;&#9830;&#9688;&#9787;&#9689;&#8226;&#9675;.O&#9835;

There is an old saying practice what you preach,
your poem reminded of that saying, also actions speak louder than words. It would be better for some people to be quiet than to live hypocrisy.

This is absolutely amazing. I cannot express in words how true this is. I could probably express it by screaming or something...
...or smashing my laptop, but that would accomplish nothing. Great write and thanks for sharing.

There are some that give their praises on Sunday (and other days) to justify themselves. Like a license to sin. I've no time or change for them either Danielle.
Well said.
