I'm sure this will surprise some people - but there are actually call themselves "Christians" who judge (?!) entire communities of people based on their "personal experience" of one or two in the community! Truly shocking, isn't it?!

There are even people who will make up outrageous lies about a community of people, seeking to find validation for the hatred and irrational bigotry in their hearts and in their black souls! It's surprising that people can be that low and insidious, isn't it?! Surprising - and so so sad that somebody would be so filled with self-loathing that they would lash out that way at people they don't know!!!

And most evil of all is that some people will try to use Jesus Christ's words of love, compassion and acceptance to validate hatred, bigotry, mean-spirited self-serving sanctimony and pompous, pretentious piety.

Sometimes it's so easy to see why Jesus had no use for the Pharisees.
