Is hypocrisy a Christian virtue?

It's so prevalent among Christians that they must consider it a
virtue. I don't believe there's other faith out there that has so many
hypocrites. They live in greed, pride, bigotry, sexism, racism, and,
of course, hypocrisy.

"In the Gospels, Jesus himself never mentions homosexuality. And he
seldom even discusses sexual sin. In contrast, the Gospels are full of
Jesus' teachings against self-righteousness, greed, pride, bigotry,
sexism, racism, and hypocrisy. Like Amos and Isaiah before him, Jesus
roundly condemns the rich and powerful who exploit, cheat, or ignore
the poor. For Jesus, immorality had much more to do with economic
injustice than with sex. He taught a morality of love."

Then, to top it off, they vote for the most warmongering candidates,
so they live in the immorality of war. But, in their righteousness,
their vote goes to punish homosexual rights and abortion...

Please give us the passages of the gospels where Jesus condemns racism,
slavery or economic injustice.

I think the Garden of Eden is the most dangerous myth, rather than
Jesus. Gandhi and Martin Luther King lived Jesus, and least they
weren't hypocrites like most Christians. The fault with Jesus is that
he was too good to be true, and most people can't meet those
standards, and simply live like the predators they are.

Here's the original lie...

How can that be? The mythical Jesus was born, lived and died a Jew. The
same is true for his disciples.

You must accept that it is a human CHOICE to go round with their fuckass and
dumbass and stupid kind of remarks.
What humans do is what humans CHOOSE to do.
If animals and creatures and other aliens in your parts of space find this
unpleasant - then naturally one day a Saviour of some kind is going to turn
up and REMOVE all life from your area - so you can get on with your
fornication and lust and greed and cruelty and rudeness and whatever else you
want WITHOUT effecting anyone else.

It is fine to say to a people - be free and live how you choose.
But with humans it is UH? Could you not change please?
Or - "we find your behaviour revolting"
Or why is it you are so selfish - rude - nasty - ugly - and have such filthy
minds and this kind of thing.
