Everyday Sunday we go to church and sing praises to God, but yet from Monday to Saturday we are completely different people and we sin and do all kinds of horrible stuff that the Bible says that we shouldn't be doing.

There are many ways to answ. this question.
1) no one is perfect, every one sins or do wrong every day, some may not even know it, or don't even think about it
2) church can be an act for some...i go to church every weekend so i am a good person right? Some people think that way
3) some people go to church to feel better about them-self
But per the bible if you believe, ask and confess your sins were washed away by the blood of Jesus.
Some say that there is more to be forgiven, you have to confess and build a relationship with Jesus. When it comes to a wide topic as this each person has to decided on there own and go from there.

Because we still have flesh. In the Christian there is a constant battle between the flesh and the spirit....sometimes we let our flesh win the battle but it is important to remember that while the spirit may loose a battle here and there, Christ has already won the war. Being saved doesn't mean that we don't sin but it does mean that we should not live in sin....should not dwell in sin. I may slip up and have a drink every now and then but I shouldn't be a drunkard. I may slip up and watch something on television that I shouldn't but I shouldn't be watching bad stuff on television every day.

Because we aren't perfect. When we put our faith in Jesus, He forgives our sin and promises us that we won't be judged for our sins by going to Hell when we die. But He doesn't remove our sinful nature! And we still have to bear the consequences of our sins here on earth. He also promises to help us overcome our sins and stop doing them.
Christians sin because it's easier than doing what is right sometimes and we get lazy. We sin because we aren't always able to resist the temptation. We shouldn't do it but sometimes we do. We have Jesus living right inside our hearts to help us when we sin....but we sometimes forget to ask for help and take matters into our own hands.
Hope this helps! Don't get discouraged by the "hypocrites" - just make sure you aren't one of 'em and be a good example for your fellow believers to follow. : )

Because we're human.
But not all Christians are like that, I DO sin, but not always, hardly ever, even from Monday-Saturday, I keep calm, give, and maintain a positive attitude.

That is because of the subliminal message that you get when a fat sweaty preacher delivers a sermon from the pulpit. Here is a living testament to a lifestyle of gluttony trying to convince you of the power of god's word when his own body betrays the fact that he has no clue how to tap into that power in the area he needs most. If your gonna try and convince someone, you have to believe in it enough to live it yourself.

Because people are not perfect and they mess up. What is important is that they at least strive to live a moral life and if they do mess up they should admit it and do everything they can to fix it. If you are talking about yourself, you are not getting very much out of going to church. If you are talking about others and not yourself, you should help them realize their errant ways. Everyone would befit.

Because the Holy Spirit is the one who makes us like God but we have to give him permission to. Too many of us don't let God do his work. Plus we will never be sin free. Never. Thats why we need a Savior. But we can strive.

Christians will never be sinless. None of us deserve God's grace. We should, however, be in the process of sinning less and less.

we are sinners. I strive to sin less each day but i live in a body of flesh
my soul is saved not my flesh
my flesh will be destroyed and will get a new resurrected body

Those that do this probably believe in "Once Saved, Always Saved." They should read Romans 6:15.
