there are more hypocrites among christians than any other group, and the fundamentalists seem to be the worst. Men are worse than women, and protestants are worse than catholics(no, I'm NOT catholic)

"The church is full of hypocrites."
Hypocrites may show up at a church building every Sunday, but there are no hypocrites in the Church (Christ’s body). Hypocrite comes from the Greek word for "actor," or pretender. Hypocrisy is "the practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold."
The Church is made up of true believers; hypocrites are "pretenders" who sit among God’s people. God knows those who love Him, and the Bible warns that He will sort out the true converts from the false on the Day of Judgment. All hypocrites will end up in hell (Matthew 24:51).

What's your point? Christianity isn't valid because there are hypocrites? Then neither is anything else.
Thanks for the points.

Yes, just as there are hypocrites among every religion. Being Christian doesn't make you perfect.

Are there any Christians that aren't hypocrites seems like a more reasonable question.

A hyprocrite is: "a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion" Examples almost certainly include the following TV evangelists (see link for details):
* Jimmy Swaggart
* Jim Bakker
* Oral Roberts
* Peter Popoff
* Robert Tilton
* Benny Hinn
* Pat Robertson
* Jim Whittington

Who is a hypocrite? If it is someone who says one thing and does another then I'd say we all are. We however need to make every effort to lead lives pleasing to our Father in heaven even though we are saved by grace.

A definite yes...in fact, based on my own experience, some christians are also murderers...christians murdered my grandparents (who were also christians) and took my rightful inheritance...they were Roman Catholic Christians. I was a christian during that time, but I was helped during my lowest point in life by the muslims. They helped me without asking anything in return from me. In a token of gratitude, I embraced their religion - Islam.
