CHRISTIANS ARE HYPOCRITES, RIGHT?

People who call themselves Christian and then fail to live up to their standards bring on a feeding frenzy by the value-less media. Yeah, Christians are human and sometimes fail. Greg Gutfield:

....those who point this out so predictably foolishly think the argument ends there, as if a flawed person is somehow proof that the critic’s own moral beliefs - or lack thereof - are superior. But I`ve said this before: to be a hypocrite you need standards. Without standards, you cannot fail to reach them. And being imperfect beings, we are all destined to fail. The fact that we actually keep trying is what makes us human. And interesting.

It’s not that I support hypocrisy. There are folks who are hypocrites from day one -dirtbags who never had standards to violate (you can find them on any reality show). But the media prefers to focus on the failure of people who try, but fail - as though it’s better just to admit you’re scum, and then revel in it.

Larry Flynt exemplified that kind of hero - a man without values who delighted in exposing hypocrisy, but who also admitted to having sex with a chicken.
