a pastor of mine told me that she believes the greatest hypocrite/liar/etc
is one who offers/promises to pray for you and then doesn't.

Tadd is right. I know that just by human nature I am, and I suspect we all are to some extent.

Me, the simplest answer to your question is...Me. I don't want to be and I may try hard not to be...but in the end I will fail to live by all those standards I set for myself and once again be...simply me..a hypocrite.
