A hypocrite is someone who says they're pro-life and means "I oppose abortion, but murdering doctors who perform abortions is OK." I'm not a student of the Bible, but I'm pretty sure it just says "Thou shalt not kill," not "Thou shalt not kill, except for people you don't like."
A hypocrite is someone who says the actions of Major Hasan at Fort Hood are evidence that Islam is a violent faith, yet doesn't apply the same standard to Scott Roeder (he's the Christian who murdered George Tiller).

double standards my dear, it's in THEIR rule book.
ReplyDeleteChristianity, Hypocricy is thy middle name.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm working at a church right now....and I have to say, so far, people have been open and loving and giving. I haven't heard any outright hypocritical remarks. Everyone seems very accepting. Love is the marker...
So far, so good.
Ok. You know I've been studying with the Rabbi at the Synagogue we belong to. I have recently learned there is a misconception of the scripture "an eye for an eye". It does NOT literally mean that, which is how I was brought up to believe! Of all the G-dly beliefs....Unfortunately, so many so called Christians make up the rules as they go along.... yes,there are a lot of hypocrites! Angry ones too.
