Abstract
Hypocrisy seems to be omnipresent in Christianity. It can be traced to events recorded in the New Testament and throughout history ever since. The scandals associated with Jim and Tammy Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Catholic priests who apparently contracted AIDS through homosexual behavior, and other Christians who have succumbed to the ubiquitous temptations of American society are merely recent exemplars of similar experiences as old as the history of humanity.
