Religion, or the lack there-of, is the core strive of humanity. I wouldn't be surprised if every topic boiled down to it ;)

Yeah, but we don't want that to happen, so it'd be nice if some sort of enforcement could be put in place.

That doesn't make him a hypocrite.  You're right that there are many religious people who follow their religion because it's instilled in them without so much as attempting to view the world from another perspective, but Cody doesn't insinuate that he's one such person.  As-is, his opinion isn't hypocrisy.
Quote:
 
Hypocrisy is the act of pretending or claiming to have beliefs, feelings, morals or virtues that one does not truly possess or practice.

If Cody were to say the above - that atheists shouldn't be against God without first learning about Christianity - but were to turn around and say Christians are free to be against atheism without learning about it, that would be double standards not hypocrisy. If he had said nobody should come to a conclusion without first doing research on all sides, but he himself did no such thing, then he'd be a hypocrite. But he didn't say that, he just said he doesn't like people being anti-Christian or anti-God without even knowing what they're talking about. No hypocrisy there, no double standards either. ;)

Straight from Dictionary.com (more reliable than Wikipedia, in my opinion):

Quote:
 

1. a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.
2. a pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude.
3. an act or instance of hypocrisy.

  1. The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.
  2. An act or instance of such falseness.

1.  an expression of agreement that is not supported by real conviction
2.  insincerity by virtue of pretending to have qualities or beliefs that you do not really have


Merriam Websters definition:
Quote:
 

1 : a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion
2 : an act or instance of hypocrisy


I think both of these from the above fit him well:
Quote:
 

1. The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.

1. a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.


First, I never said as to why I thought he was a hypocrite. Remzo gave his explanation for why he believes Cody to be a hypocrite, but here I disagree with him.

I called Cody a hypocrite because of this posting of his:

Quote:
 

People who stereotype.
People who hate others because they are different.
People who are ignorant/arrogant.
People who call everyone a poser because they don't live up to your standards.
People who make fun of other kids.
People who don't respect others opinions.
People who hate God, yet they have no clue about religion, and they just choose to be "anti-religion".


Specifically I find these statements from that rather amusing:

Quote:
 

People who are ignorant/arrogant.
People who don't respect others opinions.


His list is rather ironic. Basically, Cody hates himself. Why? Because he hates people who are ignorant and people who don't respect others opinions. He does both, thus showing falsness. Also, this proves he is a hypocrite because hypocrisy can be defined by falsness.

This following statement contradicts the previous two I pulled out (the ones I find amusing):
Quote:
 
People who hate God, yet they have no clue about religion, and they just choose to be "anti-religion".


The hypocrisy is in the fact that he hates ignorant people and people who don't respect others opinions. Yet, he dislikes people solely for the fact of being Anti-Religion without reason, thus showing his own ignorance and intolerance.

There are manypeople who believe in God and don't contemplate the non-religous view points. Do you hate them too? If not, then your setting a double standard.

In the end, Cody is a hypocrite and he most likely sets double standards.

;)

P.S. I say he sets double standards under the presumption, which may be false, that he does not hate religous people who believe in god and do not investigate anti-god viewpoints.

Valid point.

Let's get off the discussion concerning Cody's comment. I think we've worn it out eh?

I hate how ignorant and stubborn the people in New York have suddenly become. It's not just like they're one or the other, they're both (obviously generalizing because there are some extremely smart and sensible people here). The combination of these two attributes makes for the worst debates, arguments, and schools EVER. Kids say 'conversating', 'aks', 'don't/ain't make no sense'... and, I exaggerate not, 90% of everyone is homophobic. The ignorance of possibly the greatest (power, popularity, or economic wise; whatever) is embarrassing and disappointing. I'm movin' to Phili. =/

Also:

  • Conceited without a reason
  • Pencils that won't sharpen
  • Cereal without milk
  • Fat Joe, Ja Rule, E-40, and everyone in G-Unit except for Lloyd Banks
  • People who don't respect Papoose :o
  • People who have never heard of Linkin Park
  • Keanu Reeves' acting
  • The fact that Okami was so short. ;-;
  • Some of the staff in my school that think they're cool with me. =/ Please. Pshhh.
