Hypocracy

[East]

So I grew up in a very small and very religious town in South Carolina, and lets just say it's rather dangerous to be 'out' there. Well lately I cant help but feel like I'm no better than that myself because I just cant seem to get over my hate for rednecks and christians. I'm sure a good bit of it is my own intolerance but after seeing the kinds of things they do and remembering how it made me feel I cant get over it. And it's not just a dislike of them either, I don't think twice about arguing or swinging you know. I'd like to be able to be comfortable and safe in my own hometown but things there never change. Am I a hypocrite?

I think it is great that you are questioning it.....

I am not sure that hypocrisy is the right word but it is certainly in the same family. I have the same problem myself though it has diminished alot over the years and I often have to fight a wave of hate for the religious folks who use religion to control and manipulate and justify and condemn and.....

...they make it so damn easy..

...and the thing that stops me and brings me back every time is simply the fact that if they can pull you down to their level then they win.
