I get this, but wouldn’t the flip side be the brightness and relief that hypocrisy is being culled through this? Just a thought — but if you stop acting in a way (attending church) that doesn’t jive with what you believe, that seems to be revealing truth (something which all ca rejoice over, even if it’s a tough truth).

On the other hand — if it is people that are losing their faith, that is perhaps different, and I can see your concern.

I think the word hypocrisy is thrown around easily. I think churches have made mistakes and there are no excuses for them - but painting every single church and every single believer with a broad brush and calling everyone a hypocrite is intellectually dishonest.

My personal worldview - at the end of the day, we're human and should see others as humans who make mistakes and give enough grace for them to try to improve.

Concurred. Absolutely.
