Just because a person is a church goer doesn't mean they go for the right reasons which, yes folks, make them a hypocrite. But that doesn't bother me so much as for me to quit going to church anymore than it would to go to work with someone who doesn't like our employer. Hypocrites are all over the place. Even some people who call themselves Americans have allegiances that lie elsewhere. We can't not do what we believe is right just because someone else who is doing the same things we are just don't agree. The people who uses hypocrites as an excuse not to go to church are just making an excuse and while holding themselves out to be just a little better than a hypocrite are, in fact, probable not as good. One is a subtle liar and the other is more bold-faced about it but it really doesn't matter as a lie is a lie.
People are people whether in church or at work. Sometimes people have bad habits and at a meeting the boss wants to try and correct bad habits without calling names and embarrassing people by describing the bad behavior and asking that people not act that way. It seems like the worst offenders are the loudest defenders of the request. In other words they are yelling amen when they should be groaning o-me.
Agreeing loudly doesn't change the truth about your past behavior nor does it convince anyone that they are wrong about you. It just makes you look more foolish than you did before.
