Why the most religious persons that I know are also the meanest?

Hello! I live in a very religious area and almost everyone that I know are religious.

They bring god to almost any topic, they are “scared” to do a lot of things because of that, but the irony is that after they arrive home from church they start to gossip,beat animals, lie, drink a lot of alcohol, etc..

My question is why are they so religious and don’t even care about what the religion and bible says?

I’m a beginner, I only have a few days on duolingo.

This story is one of the reasons that inspired me to study veterinary medicine.

My grandfather (who has since passed away) didn’t like animals at all when he was younger. In fact, he was cruel to them. He hanged several stray cats and dogs that had no home.

In the last years of his life, he developed cancer and became bedridden, unable to stand up or walk. He and my grandmother lived in the same house, but they didn’t get along at all. They each stayed in separate rooms, and whenever they saw each other, they would argue. My mother was the only person who visited him once a day. Not even his friends came to see him.

Then something unexpected happened. A stray cat wandered into the house and became deeply attached to him. They did everything together: they ate from the same plate, watched TV together, and slept together.

I found it fascinating that someone could realize so late in life that animals can be more humane than people.

That cat is still alive today, and it was deeply affected by my grandfather’s death.

Real story..

Hi, I’d like to share a story as well. It isn’t related to animal shelters, but I think it’s quite interesting and sad.
