There is another kind of religious conservatism that is prevalent amongst Christians.

According to God, there are those who equate holiness with conservatism and associate broad-mindedness with promiscuity. This attitude tends to be prevalent among those who are active in the church who do God a disservice when they impose their puritanical ways on how the church should operate.

They also like to “pay close attention” to what others are doing and act like “gate-keepers”. In modern terms they are what God refers to as “church bouncers”.

These type of church-folks are who God refers to as modern-day pharisees,

God’s statement on modern-day pharisees:

I did not like them then. I don’t like them now.
They are hypoChristians. They are prejudice.

This a sculpture God gave to a church-active person who was narrow-minded.

Peace sign (hippie days)

 
You are groovy.

Meaning: You are a free- spirit

Question: Do you want to say anything to the church about conservatism?

God’s answer:

Loosen up.
You are too conservative to a fault.

Question: Who are you addressing in the church with this message?

God’s answer:

The church clerics.

Question: Why should they loosen up?

God’s answer:

Empty church.
It’s a big turn-off for people

Question: The church in countries where Christianity is big, like the Philippines, might disagree. The churches here are always full.

God’s answer:

Compared to your population, they are empty.

Question: In all fairness to some priests I know, it seems like it’s the “church folk” who are turning people off and who are calling the shots.

God’s answer:

Who’s their leader?
The buck stops with them.

The buck stops here or with someone means: the responsibility for something cannot or should not be passed to someone else.
