Those aren't moral paradoxes, those are just people being hypocrites.

The paradox, as such, is trying to reconcile the genocidal God of the Old Testament with the New Testament, and both with modern morality.

The BBC writer uses the phrase "forms of behaviour that conflict with deeply held moral principles" to assumably define moral decision making paradox. One could also add "being hypocrites" to make a sort of definition triangle containing all of these examples. Where's the differences?

The difference to me is whether the moral principles are deeply held, or merely pretense.
