At some point, somehow, in the not too distant past, hypocrisy ceased to be a "sin" for Christians. Maybe the evolving of hypocrisy from something to be ashamed of into something to be expected started with Jonestown. Maybe it progressed with the Rev. Peter Poppoff and his electronic earpiece radio receiver "spirit" telling him the name, address, and ailment of the person he was conversing with. Maybe it mutated with the P.T.L. club and Rev. Jim & Tammy Bakker's air conditioned dog house. Or maybe with the statistical studies of claims -vs- facts comparing Christians with non-Christians, Christians themselves just realized they're really no better than anybody else and gave up. I don't know for sure, but this I do know: hypocrisy doesn't seem to be a "sin" anymore.

More Friggin Christian Hypocrisy
Christians moan and groan every time some public figure fails to
fawn and gush over how great Christians and their imaginary gods
are- they call it "persecution" and in their paranoia claim
everyone's out to get them. Yet whenever THEY are in the position to
be disrespectful, to mock, to persecute- they GO FOR IT- with
GUSTO!!! The Fundies in charge of the United States Air Force
Academy made it a regular practice to *indulge in religious
slurs, make jokes of, and direct
disparaging remarks at all NON-Christians attending the
Academy. All Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and Atheists were
constant targets for overt religious persecution- for YEAR AFTER
YEAR AFTER YEAR. Did the Christians ever complain about THIS
persecution? Of course not! Why? Because- they're friggin
HYPOCRITES.
In light of the above, typical complaints from xtians (see below)
about MY being "disrespectful" ring hallow}
The article below demonstrates one more time the REAL Fundy agenda seeping thru the expensive facade of Madison Avenue Republican/Fundy BS. They claim they want prayers in government, but as it turns out, only THEIR prayers. They claim they want allegiances pledged to "God", but as we all know, it will be not just ANY God, but only to THEIR God. Hey, all I can say to the Fundys is this: you were the ones that wanted all this "God-crap" mixed up in government, demanded it even, and now that you GOT it, you're STILL not happy! Ha ha ha ha ha
**NOTE: Fundy Christian ignorance raises its head once more} It has been pointed out regarding her statement above "My god is not Mohammed" that Muslims don't even HAVE a god named Mohammed; their god is Allah. Thus she is against a religion she's already demonstrated total ignorance of. What she's REALLY against, of course, is that it's not HER religion. She'll expect everyone to be tolerant and sit still for HER religion, but she'll walk out on other religions. Hypocrite. "Self-Righteous,
Arrogant, Intolerant of Other's Weaknesses. Author of "The Book of Virtues"
from Newsweek, c/o MSNBC, http://www.msnbc.com/news/908430.asp?cp1=1 The popular author, lecturer and Republican Party activist speaks out, often indignantly, about almost every moral issue except one—gambling. It’s not hard to see why. According to casino documents, Bennett is a “preferred customer” in at least four venues in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, betting millions of dollars over the last decade. His games of choice: video poker and slot machines, some at $500 a pull. With a revolving line of credit of at least $200,000 at each casino, Bennett, former drug czar and secretary of Education under Presidents Reagan and Bush, doesn’t have to bring money when he shows up at a casino. More than 40 pages of internal casino documents provided to The Washington Monthly and NEWSWEEK paint a picture of a gambler given the high-roller treatment, including limos and tens of thousands of dollars in complimentary hotel rooms and other amenities. In one two-month period, the documents show him wiring more than $1.4 million to cover losses at one casino. In one 18-month stretch, Bennett visited a number of casinos for two or three days at a time. And Bennett must have worried about news of his habit leaking out. His customer profile at one casino lists an address that corresponds to Empower.org, the Web site of Empower America, the group Bennett co-chairs. But typed across the form are the words: NO CONTACT AT RES OR BIZ!!! Some of Bennett’s losses have been substantial. According to one casino source, on July 12 of last year, Bennett lost $340,000 at Caesars in Atlantic City, and on April 5 and 6 of 2003 he lost more than $500,000 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Some casino estimates put his total losses over the past decade at more than $8 million. “There’s a term in the trade for his kind of gambler,” says a casino source who has witnessed Bennett at the high-limit slots in the wee hours. “We call them losers.”
