But, you see, the hypocrisy doesn't bother the Babble-felchers. They honestly believe "faith is more important than works" — that is, so long as you're mouthing the "right" pieties, that's all that matters. "Are yew perfect? Ah'm not...that's why I'm a chreestyun, so gaaawwd will fergive all mah sinz."
Or, as more erudite and cynical righties have put it, "Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue."
Of course, if I conducted my personal life the way the typical loud-mouthed fundie conducts his or hers, I'd sure as shit want to believe in a deity that cared more about what I said than what I did...
