It would all make sense if the church and churches which are devoted to religion weren’t also nasty, corrupt and immoral. They have all the things we keep saying will rid our society of societal ills. The ten commandments. Prayer. Meditation. Bible study. All that. And yet the leaders, pastors and members are themselves nasty, corrupt and immoral.

...
Astute article, however, your response indicates you have experienced hypocrisy in Christian leadership...yes it is there, especially those in limelight. I’d encourage you you to seek those whom are more anonymous. Don’t toss the baby with the bathwater. Our Maker doesn’t give us free passes just because some whom follow Him we don’t like.

One does not have to personally experience hypocrisy in Christian leadership. It's pervasive. If it were just some, it would be much easier to glance over.

I once had a discussion with a pastor. He said that something like more than 90% of the people he went to divinity school with had left being pastors and the vast majority had done so because of sexual sin either in the congregation, externally or both.
