Many see God as a harsh, demanding being; it's his way or no way. They don't realize that God is Holy and that Satan has tainted us with sin, so we can't come into His presence.

Hiding Truth to Fit In!
Many Christians won't speak against things they know are wrong; as long as they don't do them, it's okay. But it's not okay! We are God's children!
