Why are many Christians such hypocrites?

[Joe Awesome]

I'm totally on your side. I am a Christian, but 99% of other "Christians" are hypocrites and have no idea what they're faith teaches. Ask a random Christian why Jesus had to die, and there's a solid chance they don't know why. I think it all boils down to that people are stupid, including Christians. I honestly believe the reason atheism is on the rise (or one of them) is that Christians do a terrible job defending the faith. If Jesus came back tomorrow, he would be embarrassed at His Christian's ignorance and hypocrisy. Before you convert someone, you need to live what you are converting, which explains why less and less people are converting, because less and less are living it. On behalf of all Christians, I'd like to apologize for my people's hypocrisy.
