“Hypocrisy versus authenticity among men is not always so black and white, and as is righteousness, humility is often self-proclaimed. The Church is most definitely supposed to be a hospital for the spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically sick, hurting, and broken individual, yet ironically, many of its critics are those who ran away and permanently denounced its members after they visited and felt that they were sneezed on.” MenSelfIndividualFeltBlackHurtChurchWhiteHumilityBrokenMembersSickCriticsAuthenticitySupposed To BeRanHypocrisyRighteousnessHospitalsBlack And WhiteVersus Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

“I've always said as a political scientist that "culture" is what we use when we can't explain things. I think it's more about accessibility.
