Religious Bullying

Religious Bullying

The religious bullies are those who are self-righteous. They  feel morally superior above others. These individuals don't feel guilty after having committed an evil act. They sit in the seat of judgment against others, according to their religious beliefs. They use certain biblical words to defend their position based on the way they believe things should be, that are contrary to common sense.

Religious bullies are dangerous to themselves, and to others, because they place themselves in a position that they feel is godlike, and therefore, they are disconnected to God.

When the religious bullies start touting bibles and placing themselves in leadership positions, they become a powerful and evil force against society that is very dangerous, because out of their organizations hatemongers are reproduced. They don’t like anyone who disagrees with their philosophy.

Hatemongers desires to destroy, and to harm those who they feel are immoral, and is unworthy to exist. They believe, they are doing the right thing religiously, by punishing those who they deem to be judged and condemned to death by their standards.

The danger to these particular individuals and to others

They are listening to a spirit they believe is God, who is speaking, and telling them, the right things to do. Whatever they hear, they believe -  and there is no one who can convince them, they are wrong in their belief. 

What the Bible Says:

For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.
Romans 10:2-4

Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:21-23

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:
Matthew 5:22 continued 

God's Judgment for offensive name calling:

Whosoever shall say to his brother 'Raca' shall be in danger of the council:
But whoever shall say, 'Thou fool' shall be in danger of hell fire.
Matthew 5: 22
