They represent the largest amount of fornicators, adulterers,porn watchers,..etc
they tell you that they ask for forgiveness from Jesus...but It is only words saying"God forgive my sins"....God sees the heart of a man...he is forgiven only when he really wants to change...he repents...he decides not to repeat his sinful acts...it is a sincere feeling
Dont be misjudged by the title Im not a Christian hater...it is just that that I want to make a point here

You don't go far enough.
People are hypocrites.
End of story.

If Christians "make up the largest amount" of the people you suggest they are, then they are no longer Christians; they're sinners, so don't characterize Christianity-related statistics based on something that cannot pertain to someone living a completely Christian life! Remember the Scripture that asked the question, "What communion hath light with darkness and what concord hath Christ with Belial?" It means that how can salvation and sin exist in the moral fiber of everyone who claims to be Christian? Another verse says, "No man can serve two masters for he would love one and hate the other." Therefore, in my humble opinion, just because they go to church, pay their tithes, sit on the pew and take in a sermon or two a week don't make them Christian. It is only through OBEDIENCE to the Word! I'm tired of the generalizations made by people like you against Christians because of their "claim" to be Christian!

Some may be, but definitely not all of them are! Most of the badly-imposed people are related to christianity in your opinion. Let's think this way, most of the people you are refering are residents of country where Christianity is the main religion! In a contry some can be extremely good while others might be 'Bad'. We can't assume whole christians are hypocrytes just because of few rotten apples. Christians are plain people like us. They are human too! Humans made mistake all the times.That's why they seek the upper power (God). The bible teaches good thing. However, stuborn people refuse to obey. They are not confessing they're perfect christians but admitting that they're weak and need help by being a christian! Sometimes , when society expects 2 much from them.They feel preassure and that's when they fall into wicked tempatations!

Pride,arrogance and stirring up strife will cause a great fall. Sinners represent the largest amount of fornicators,adulterers,porn watchers etc... These are hypocrites. You need to pray that you don't fall in those categories. Judge ye not for ye shall be judged!

True, they do represent the largest amount, simply because they are the Majority. Our prisons are filled with people who claim to be Christians.
If someone wants stats, all one has to do is do a Google Search on Statistics on membership to different Religions. I am surprised at some of the answers almost denying that. As if they are trying to distance themselves away from the Hypocritical part. (Which looks suspicious, IMO).
And yes, EVERYONE can be a hypocrite at times, but to stand firm in it is something else.

That's a pretty big statement to make without any proof behind it.
Secondly, while I agree that Christians (for the most part) are hypocritical one must remember that people as a whole can be just as hypocritical. Doesn't matter what religion or race. we all do it at one point in our lives.

As much as I'd love to admit to this, because I am not a christian, I have to disagree. It's not just christians who are hyprocrytes, but everybody in the world are hypocrites. Although some peeps might deny this, they will be a hypocrite at least once.

Christians ARE hypocrites. They set themselves by saying they are not judge mental, selfless, etc. etc, etc. Therefore when they put themselves ahead of someone else, they are hypocrytes. A non-chrstian doing the same is not.

Christian is a name addressed to a certain group of people. Is not hypocrisy a falling of men and not only Christians?
