the problem with humans is that what we say doesn't command us.
It is unbelievably rare to find a man of principles nowadays. because of money people do and say things completely messed up.
A charity that cares more about its CEO having a third bentley rather than helping a poor kid is that exact reason. we give up any form of conscience when money is involved!

Because it's easier to believe something good or pretend to believe something good than do something good. Some people claim to believe things just because it's what's in. People want to help and do good things and have a purpose but don't really want to put in the effort of changing their habits.

Because people are people! not God... People evolve by learning of their mistakes but until they notice their mistakes people will repeat the routine.
Another reason, routine and habit are the hardest things to break and until their belief becomes real in their lives rather than just a belief they cannot use it's fruits.

It's part of being human. Humans are prone to make mistakes, but that doesn't give them a reason to make stupid mistakes. People at least have to try and improve themselves and base themselves off of their moral code. If they don't follow it, well then maybe they need to stop claiming they follow something when they don't.
