And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Edit: Please remember that the bible is very internally inconsistent, and it’s obviously not factual. It’s just funny that the people who claim to be christians don’t know their own book.
also more context? because it’s a oft mentioned topic: Matthew 23:27-28
New International Version
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
Yeah its called “cafeteria christianity” - they pick and choose what parts to follow while ignoring the inconvenient verses that would actually require them to be decent humans.
In case you need more context, Matthew 6:5-6:

Any time Republicans do this shit, Democrats need to be in the side preaching this verse.
This is by design. What is written is one thing, but what it “says” is whatever they want it to say.
