preaching against gay marriage and having homosexual sex?
preaching against drugs and doing hard drugs?
preaching to ask for donations and using the money for personal use?
preaching against adultery and having a girl on the side?
... the list goes on and on

Are you writing Ted Haggard's biography? I mean that about covers it.
They are all pretty bad.
Added: Damn...beat out on the Haggard crack. Oh well, it is still pretty funny.

All hypocrisy is hypocrisy...nothing more or less...each is existentially equal...
"Better" and "worse" are terms for judgment, and judgment is in the hands of the individual....In fact, existentially speaking, you are in no position to define another person's values or determine what is, or is not, hypocritical for them...
I'm surprised that, as an atheist, you don't understand this...

Is that Ted Haggard? The homosexual hypocrisy is the worst , IMHO, but the lesser of two evils is still evil.

Being a hypocrite about something and later correcting it is one thing.... LIVING as a Hypocrite is something totally different. But as far as your list here, they're all about the same... and most of those who scream "Family Values" have done at least one of those you have listed.

we're rather spoiled for choices, it seems.
I'd say that any preaching that there is "one true way" to do anything, and then secretly doing the opposite solely for one's one pleasures, is appalling.

All hypocrisy is terrible. It doesn't matter what you believe, or if you don't believe at all. It doesn't matter what your position in the Church is, hypocrisy is a sin.

There is no difference. hypocrisy is hypocrisy, just as a lie is a lie and not in black and white.
