I hate hypocrisy too, I reckon something about having grown up in a fundamentalist christian family and observing at a young age that my parents and other christians literally did not practise what they preached.
Yeah, I grew up in a Catholic family, but my family was hardly fundamental about it. However, my dad said to me many times from a young age to "practice what you preach" and to lead by example. He also looked up to the televangelist Larry Rice. "He is the only one of them who actually does what he says" "He talks about helping the Homeless and giving, and he actually works with the homeless, as well as lives charitably". " He even wears suits that came from charitable donations to drive it home!" He even bitched about people like Joyce Meyer and AL Gore, the former for asking for people to give to God and help out, while she tours around on private jets and whatnot.
For Al Gore, he preaches going green, but his house, vehicles, and whatnot are anything but! At least Arnold Schwarzenegger's Hummer runs on Biodiesel!
This really resonated with me, and apparently I took it to heart more than he did, as I got older, I started seeing contradictory behavior in my dad. We got into an argument once, and he even said something to the effect of "do as I say, not as I do"! I was shocked and beyond pissed! I modelled my life on what he told me as a boy, and he failed to do so himself!
I wonder if that explains my anger towards hypocrisy.
IIN, Really annoyed by Hypocrites and Hypocritical behavior.
