Do the religious practice what they preach?
A news article on the CNN Website.
Opinions welcome.
Leslie: However, there is something in the bible about treating others as you would have them treat you. Or is christian morality that literal?

Haha....I love this line: The incident will not stifle the group's message, Gaylor said. Before reports of the placard's recovery, she said a temporary sign with the same message would be placed in the building's Rotunda. Gaylor said a note would be attached saying, "Thou shalt not steal."
Some do, but the vast majority do not.

From my experience, some do and some don't.
Take for example, Nephew's stepmother, preaches about what a good Christian she is, but lies constantly, even lied to the courts in a custody battle, and then turned around and laughed about the person having their child taken away from them.
The big bible thumpers that are always telling others how they should live their life are just hiding they fact they are ashamed of their own wrong doings.

Religious is a very loose term. You can say you believe in God, but not be religious.
Some do and some obviously don't. Religious is just a title and it's all about your relationship with God or whatever you believe in.
I am a Lutheran and I do try my best to be as loyal, honest and practice what I preach - but I don't preach. I am human, sometimes selfish, but the bottom line is that I follow the laws or rules more than I don't.
And I don't push myself on others either. My beliefs, religion, God is my PERSONAL belief and that is really no one else's business.

Some do. Why do you ask this question relating to the article? God never said "thou shalt not take down a sign that is claiming I don't exist"

Interesting article, although I couldn`t read it all. Anyhow, no, the majority of people don`t practice what they preach.

They try, but as St Paul wrote "all have sinned". Nobody's perfect, but some ask forgiveness.

Oh, an insulting sign is removed and it is a sign that Christians are all hypocrites?
I guess all atheists are as brainwashed and deluded with generalizations as you are then.

They may be more inclined to treat people in a certain way.
