See, there's this guy. He keeps saying he wants to dialogue with me, but the conversation is always unidirectional. He wants to sit back and pick apart everyone else's beliefs, but will never consent to put any of his on the chopping block. Then, when someone got bored with this routine and refused to discuss their beliefs any further, he cried foul and bellyached about it, as if their refusal to share were a personal affront.

Kinda sounds like hypocrisy to me.

I think I know what you're saying. Act_of_Reparation Apr 2018 #1

You might call what you want dialogue. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #5

Others might wrong? Act_of_Reparation Apr 2018 #7

Speaking of your claim here, guillaumeb Apr 2018 #28

Then there are hypocrites who claim to want dialog... trotsky Apr 2018 #2

Remove the beam from your eye. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #4

Have I ever accused you of being part of a choir, gil? Nope. trotsky Apr 2018 #11

We both know that you have directed numerous messages to me. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #12

Ah, so this is only about you lecturing others, as usual. trotsky Apr 2018 #14

The sermon is for all to read. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #15

Beam from your own eye and all that. trotsky Apr 2018 #24

My guess is that you misunderstood the point. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #27

The point of you deciding you get to issue a "sermon" to everyone on hypocrisy? trotsky Apr 2018 #43

Put everything that you have said into a post. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #29

As indicated, I stand by everything I said. trotsky Apr 2018 #44

But you post some things privately. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #48

You can threaten me all you want. trotsky Apr 2018 #49

Why do you call it a threat? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #50

Because that's what you're doing. Threatening me. trotsky Apr 2018 #51

Congratulations for illustrating in your own way. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #52

I'm sorry it makes you feel uncomfortable to have your behavior identified accurately. trotsky Apr 2018 #53

Consistency is not always a virtue. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #54

Fine example of the topic at hand Lordquinton Apr 2018 #13

It is an illustration of one facet of the issue. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #18

I'm assuming you're giving this sermon from personal experience Lordquinton Apr 2018 #22

Have we all not been guilty of it? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #25

The etymology of hypocrisy is Greek Cartoonist Apr 2018 #3

Hypocrisis is also Latin. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #6

In the same way "du jure" is English. Act_of_Reparation Apr 2018 #8

Or "du jour", another expression used in English. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #9

"the bible" lol. there's the problem nt msongs Apr 2018 #10

Could you please explain your assertion Voltaire2 Apr 2018 #16

What specifically do you not understand? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #17

Hypocrisy. yallerdawg Apr 2018 #20

True, but with all of the flying stones around here, guillaumeb Apr 2018 #21

Afraid someone might one day throw one back? Lordquinton Apr 2018 #23

Who here is without sin? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #26

Define sin, please. nt. Mariana Apr 2018 #30

Who here is perfect? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #31

Define sin, please. nt. Mariana Apr 2018 #32

I redefined the question. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #33

You once again ran away from your own Voltaire2 Apr 2018 #34

It is the exact same statement, rephrased in a non-religious way. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #35

No it isnt. Voltaire2 Apr 2018 #36

As I said, feel free to respond. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #37

You're contradicting yourself. Mariana Apr 2018 #38

Sin in a faith sense is not following the commands of your faith. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #39

If not following the commands of one faith Mariana Apr 2018 #40

That definition is specific to religion. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #41

So for example a person with six toes Voltaire2 Apr 2018 #42

God prohibited people with imperfections such as that Mariana Apr 2018 #45

Arguably god v3 in the NT likes defective Voltaire2 Apr 2018 #46

An incredible leap. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #47

It's not a leap marylandblue Apr 2018 #55

Yes I agree that your claim that Voltaire2 Apr 2018 #56
