Total Hypocrite or Human?

[BattlingSoul]

I am going to post my thoughts here and see how others reply. After posting my initial thoughts, I will not respond to any further post, I just want to see what others think, so here goes.

I am a Christian, I take my faith very seriously, and am so great-full for my salvation. I truly do try to live what I believe but, there are times in my life where I have not, now is one of those times. I have been married 25 years, I love my wife and don't ever want to leave her. She compliments my personality and we are great friends. That said, we have never been compatible sexually. And yes, I have addressed these issues with her, but she is very tight lipped when it comes to sexual discussions, even after being married 25 years.

So, to vent, to blow off some steam, I have come to LIT, and yes, my wife has no idea I come here. Yes, I know being here is not conducive to my beliefs, yes, I feel guilty for being here, and I probably won't be here an overly extended amount of time.

I really do try to NOT come across HOLIER THAN THOU, being a Christian is not about how GOOD I might be, but is about WHO I have faith in. No one else's sin is any worse than mine. My lusting after another woman in my mind is just as much a sin as someone actually having sex with someone who is not their spouse.

So with what you have read above, do you see someone like me as a TOTAL hypocrite or as someone who has FAITH, but has the same struggles as anyone else...

So now the thread is yours, let me have it...

I think there are a number of conflicted folks here who feel as you do. I hope you continue to try and work things out with your spouse.

Judge not lest ye be judged (unless you're a "Board Sheriff" or a self-proclaimed "protector of white women" here....lookin' at you Queerbait!)

I'll make it easier for you. There is no god. You dirtnap when you die. All this crap you are agonizing over is a complete fiction. Absorb that and get on with your life.

Oh, and eat your vegetables, be nice to people, fuck your woman regularly and well .... and wear sunblock.

Have a nice day

I had perfect attendance in Sunday School from age 5 to 16; after that I taught Sunday School until University, where I lived at a Theology School Residence for my first two years in Business School.

I had my fair share of Christian Indoctrination and feel I can speak with some authority on the topic of the Protestant faith. (you have earlier claimed to be non-RC)

Protestants are taught to "let their little light shine", to proclaim the Good News and the live their lives in such a way as to be an example to the faithful and faithless alike.

It is not part of the Great Commission to go out into the world and whine about your personal struggles, at least not in my view.

However, it doesn't matter whether you are Christian or not...if you are feeling a conflicted need to get some strange stuff, that's what we will make fun of you about here on the GB....especially now that you have admitted to feelings of Guilt & Shame.

Your Christian views are a separate topic for scorn and ridicule...bonus!...your views on Christianity are also a quite infantile, so anyone who actually knows anything about the Stories of Jesus is also going to think you're a simp.

I think you should go to Lit Personals and find someone (not from your congregation) to put your penis inside on a regular basis.

And buy your wife a Magic Wand.

I feel similarly, in that this is not rare or unique, BattlingSoul.

However, I would suggest that this draw to Lit might be a signal to explore your faith further. I'm not suggesting abandoning it in the least! Rather, this could be the opportunity to modify it, to expand it, or to unlock it.

There's no reason why faith and carnality can't fit together. Anyone telling you otherwise is blind to that idea.

According to Wikipedia, yes, you're a hypocrite. You are not "practicing what you preach." You are also concealing your presence here from your wife. It seems like you're seeking some kind of validation for being here. "I'm only human! I'm not perfect!" By the teachings of your faith, as I understand it, you're still a sinner and you're just making excuses and trying to rationalize it. Just my 2 cents.

The GB is very combative. Not the best place to discuss your inner core beliefs. You will have to wade through many nonsensical or hostile or derogatory or trollish answers to find those of help and support.

Quietly Christians may have a place here. Those who are wear Jesus on their sleeve types not so much.

Of course you struggle, because man's theology is convoluted and contradictory. You're only a hypocrite to the extent that you JUDGE OTHERS, whether publicly or privately (which so many of you types can't seem to resist!).

Pax.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Being good has little to do with Christianity. Atheists, other Abrahamic monotheistic, pagan and Asian religions all struggle with the choice between good and evil, to or not to sin. This is a human thing. There are commonalities amongst all the major religions and philosophies. You can't ascribe the battle against whether to sin or not as a Christian thing.

So no, this is not hypocrisy it is human.

Only humans demand perfection in their creations. Gods do not.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Total Hypocrite or Human?

That is no dichotomy. All hypocrites are human.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I just see human nature.

We too went to church regularly. After all, that's what Bible Belter's in corn fields always have done. We married in our family's Methodist church by a Methodist preacher. We attended regularly................. until. Until we kept getting forms, letters, and pay envelopes just like the ones for our house and car!
We were paid up on the house and car but falling behind on our church "donations."
Thinking this over, working with two faced, wife beating, neighbor fucking, church going co-workers who prayed before lunch and when eating out, I decided this being religeous wasn't all it's cracked up to be.
Yet other men above me in the corporation, convinced and begged me to attend religeous groups and clubs with animal names so I could mingle with the other well-to-do back stabbing neighbor fucking men of the community.

The more I learned of religeon and it's many forms, the more I read very old books detailing how members of the Catholic church use members as sex slaves, the less I wanted to be a member of any church.
Hell I was getting all the pussy I wanted and saw no reason to ask forgiveness.
I do believe in angels and aliens. They are one in the same and all the garbage about beings from heaven really came here in those space ships you see painted on cave walls and other places.
Man and woman were created to have sex. So have sex with a friend and let your cold hearted wives rot in Hell. After all, we're only human and life is short.

This place is a believer magnet. 50 years ago they were buying Playboy because it had good articles.

Dude, your great great was a fucking caveman. His purpose in life was to eat and fuck. Don't let religion snatch away enjoying the snatch.

[Froya]

You ask the question as if they are mutually exclusive. Humans are all hypocrites in some way or another. You're both human and a hypocrite.

Being on Lit, pursuing whatever relationships you form here, is a decision you make every time you log on. If that is incompatible with what you say you believe, and with your marriage, you are choosing to betray your beliefs and your wife. Perhaps the question should be why your sexual desires are more important to you than your stated morality.

I started writing my reply before I saw this. Yes.

That's really only half the quote. Bad enough to take something out of context but to do it in Latin is diabolicum.

It's not a quote. It's a proverb taken from an essay from Alexander Pope. It's hardly taken out of context.

I wish I knew the Latin translation for "fuck off."
