Regarding the examples the narrator gives of "Christian hypocrisy" (acceptance of homosexuality, acceptance of more than one "path"): Since the Christians accused don't conceal their views, but rather proclaim them, they cannot be guilty of hypocrisy, but would be guilty (from the narrator's point of view) of apostasy. You'd think that someone appointing himself a Christian commentator would have learned the difference.
No. You didn’t you pay attention. He even provided the standard definition of hypocrisy... ”Someone who says they have particular moral beliefs but behaves in a way that shows these are not sincere”. Apostasy on the other hand means abandoning or renouncing one’s religion. And as he goes on to explain that many Christians proclaim to be commited followers of Christ yet are backing a completely contrary position to his and the bibles teachings. Those people are the hypocrites, not apostates. And that is EXACTLY how he has misapplied the dictionary definition. The Christians he is accusing are SAYING that their moral beliefs now accept homosexuality, and they act according to what they SAY, so that is not being hypocritical. And the fact that they publicly reject the "traditional" Christian view of homosexuality means that they have abandoned that teaching and qualify (from the narrator's view) as apostates. Your narrator is ignorant.
