Everywhere you look, there are hypocrites. This is the definition hypocrite from Merriam-Webster online dictionary: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings
This group often educates our kids from kindergarten all the way through college and does so by teaching them one thing, but turning around and doing the exact opposite. Take a DARE instructor who decides to come into class drunk or high.
This group I really like. They want to take everything from you to distribute to others; however, when you suggest they should also give to others to be distributed, they get mad and argue with you why that is not fair. There was a bunch of college students who thought socialism from a money point of view was great. Lets spread the wealth they all said, but when asked to spread their grades to those who did not work as hard so everyone could benefit, they wanted no part of it. Why you ask, because they worked hard for those grades. Don’t you think people who have money may have also worked hard?
This is another one of my favorites, this group wants to stop you from saying what you want to say, but does not think they should be stopped from vocalizing their opinions. There are many groups who think the first amendment should be done away with because words hurt and are offensive, but they should be allowed to say what they want, when they want, and how they want even though others may find what they say offensive. If this happened, then everyone would eventually be mute because any time someone said anything, another could find what was said offensive.
This group says we want to protect all and we will take your guns away to do so, but do not expect us to give up our guns or even our human protection who also carry guns. They are basically saying you do not deserve protection and we sure as heck don’t want you to be able to protect yourself, but we do want you to rely upon us to catch the person(s) responsible in the event you are hurt or killed. Oh and by the way, we do deserve protection because we are special and you are not.
This group claims to be the most tolerant until you disagree with them, then you are called every name under the sun. Heck each some gyms/fitness centers are taking this approach. We are tolerant as long as you do not workout too hard and in the event you do, we will remind you of that through our staff and all the nasty postings on the walls calling you names.
This group wants to be free to do what they want, when they want, how they want, without any consequences. You may be thinking how can this be hypocritical. Well the key word is they. As soon as you say the same thing and it goes against them somehow, then they will argue that you should not have the freedom to do those things.
This group says coexist and even has a nice bumper sticker, but if you ever mention Christ to one of them, they go ballistic. It means coexist as long as I agree with what you represent. Hey then we can be best buds. However, if you believe in Christ, then I am sorry you must be eliminated. Some coexistence.
Now lets look at what Christ taught. He said love your neighbor as yourself, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. He did not say this and then turn around and did something else. In fact he lived this way all the time.
We He said ” “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” Remember, they were getting ready to stone this woman for adultery. All Christ did was point out that everyone there had sinned such as is stated in Romans 3:23.
You may be thinking that I am such a perfect person, I am not. I have a lot of flaws and yes I am even a hypocrite from time to time. It is not about not being a hypocrite, but more about that we need to know when we are being one so we can attempt to correct it.
