No way.
You are the one who has to do the proving. You are the one accusing another of practicing hypocrisy and calling them a hypocrite. So you get prove it.
No more empty accusations. Prove it. And remember the definitions of hypocrite and of hypocrisy are out there (see below) so you can't just fling the words about.
hypocrisy
noun
- The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness
hypocrite
noun - a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives
- a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs
About proving it ... Good luck. Dr. Laura haters have been looking for information to make your accusations and name calling stick for decades. All they have are her nude photos and living in sin for a number of years - before she got married, before she became a mother, before she ended up with what might be called conservative values.
That's it.
Heck, Paul (formerly Saul) used to hunt down Christians and have them killed ... then before you know it, he became a Christian. Then what do you know, he started acting as if he was a real Christian or something. Shucks, he even became an evangelical Christian. What do you make of that?
Hypocrite? Practicing hypocrisy? I guess so by your definition. Certainly not by mine. I guess it's strange how nothing in the NT has anyone calling him a hypocrite or telling him he couldn't preach the word as he used to persecute the followers of the word.
BTW - It's a shame you grew up around far too many rank hypocrites to be able to tell the difference between a hypocrite and someone who has changed their values and behavior. Must have been very close to home for there still to be so much anger.
So sad.
