Church Folk=Hypocrites?

Let me start off by saying that I, myself, am a Christian woman. However, I have come to realize why a lot of people are turned off of church and Christianity in general. It seems as if the people who are supposed to be the most understanding, those who are in the church and are supposed to be living by God's word are sometimes the most judgmental and two-faced. A lot of "Christian" people are real quick to judge when whatever it is that is going on isn't going on with them. It is as if once they get "saved" they forget that they weren't always that way. This is definitely NOT the way it should be. The Bible tells us that God is the ONLY one who can judge us and we have ALL sinned whether it be telling a white lie so as to not hurt some one's feelings or you've murdered someone. No sin is greater than another and for Christian people to treat others as if they are beneath us is a disgrace to God. God asks us to love our neighbors, not tear them down simply because they are where we used to be or because their sins SEEM bigger than our sins. We've all done things that we're not proud of and we're all supposed to be striving to  be better which means we're supposed to strive each day to be more like Christ. Christ was a loving man, so loving that He died for our sins. He who did nothing to others was tormented then crucified. Christians are human just like everyone else which means we've all made mistakes. We need to learn to keep that in mind and realize that we should love the next person as Christ loved us. We could all stand to learn a few new things, we need to read our Bibles more and actually follow through with living out what the word tells us.
