“In the modern Christian attempt to take a stand as Christ did, and maybe for others, win the approval of the world, the Christian will often think that it consists of targeting and demoralizing fellow Christians and only fellow Christians. It is one thing to stand against religious hypocrisy when one sees it, but it is another to go on snorting at anything or anyone who might seem 'too Christian' to us. The irony is that by doing this we are further advocating hypocrisy and 'half-hearted Christians'.” ThinkingWorldSeemsMightChristianWinningChristReligiousHalfOne ThingModernGoes OnFellowsIronyHypocrisyApprovalHeartedAdvocatingDemoralizingHalf Hearted Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“It has always been an irony to me that the 'religious right' has come under so much attack for being involved in politics when the black community has been doing it for hundreds of years. The Reverend Jesse Jackson is rarely, if ever, attacked for his involvement in politics.” IfsYearsHas BeensChristianBlackCommunityReligiousInvolvedIronyInvolvementBlack CommunityReverends Author:Kay Coles James

“I think here is the irony of American history. We don't have an established church. When you have an established church nobody takes religion as seriously as we do here. We have a free market in religion. The religious groups are competing with each other.” ThinkingChurchReligiousGroupsIronyAmerican HistoryCompetingFree Market Author:Eric Foner
