Pointing out hypocrisy and bigotry.

No, it makes them liars in order to protect themselves from negative consequences.  For example, losing a job, getting kicked out of a university etc. KKK members, for example, often hid their identity under white sheets. Another example is gay people who "came out " after years of voicing hatred towards gays in order to take the focus off of themselves.  William Shakespeare said it best: The lady does protest too much, me thinks. 

They are liars?. Wasnt it you who said we cant broad brush people? Maybe some are just liars, but maybe some are hypocritical as well.

Yes. I immediately think of my own shortcoming. We are all bigots and hypocrites to some greater or lesser extent. It is perhaps a good bellwether to look in the mirror often.

The hypocrisy im talking about from people who point fingers at others when they are also guilty. So lets say for example they point fingers at me, do you think i should examine myself in the mirror or they should examine themselves? What if im basically saying to them the same as you are saying. Look in the mirror.

I'm leaving this thread and putting it and you on ignore.  I am in no mood to fight.  You are correct.  You are always correct.  Anything you ever have said or will ever say is correct. 

No need to get personal.

Hence why we are exhorted to think on what is good and worthwhile. There is enough evil in the day without adding to it. It's taken a long while of being disciplined, convicted, corrected, and encouraged to finally grasp that lesson.

It's better to encourage one another than point fingers and stir up strife. A lesson for us all...

Beautiful day today, catching my vitamin D with the neat sunshine rays. 
Thunder coming out of the N West, gonna get some rain.

This is the day the Lord hath made and I'm glad!

Meanwhile hate festers in our nation over lies. What do we do, must remain silent in the face of evil? Is that what Martin Luther King did?

Sometimes we must talk about unpleasant things.

There is no hate to be found in the nation to which I belong. I'm an alien and sojourner on this earth, here only for a little while. While I'm here, I'm called upon to love my neighbor as myself and look after their needs. I'm also called upon to feed my brothers and sisters as it pleases the Lord, and to serve them like I serve my neighbor. 

Let the haters hate. I will pray for them and also that I might set a good example during my sojourn in this world. I've encountered many good examples along the way, brothers and sisters who have inspired me to do as they do. Focus your eyes and heart upon Christ and don't be troubled by the evil in men's hearts.

Agreed.
But God says I reap what I sow.
Just trying to remember the good stuff also.
And sow a few seeds of peace and comfort, then looking to the harvest.........

What if your brother is falsely accused of murder? Would you not speak up for your brother?
