in defense of hypocrites

Many church people like to attack the argument of those people who charge that they are hypocrites by pointing out so what, so are you. This is a straw because foremost, churched people are assuming a desire for higher standards which make their positions appear vulnerable in the extreme. Fact is most churched people are not so hypocritical as some would have us believe. Many come right out and admit they do not believe everything in the Bible is any longer true. They will openly regulate Christ's teaching to the limbo of metaphor. That is hardly hypocritical and seems more honest than the so what defense implies.
