(25,858 posts)He is essentially the only "Christian" I respect. He truly lives his faith. I just wish I could meet him someday, but alas, that will probably never happen.

It's all part of the pre-sale. Religious imposters try to sell themselves with imagery and self-professions so other people will lower their guard, thinking that this person is of such high moral caliber they would never be a fraudster or a swindler. People will then witness certain behaviors of the hypocrite that are contrary to that moral belief, and they question what they are seeing and discount it. This gives the hypocrite / charlatan cover.
Just look at this model 'Christian:'

Or this model 'Christian:'
Or this one who sells his Christianity by posting daily Bible quotes:
Tartuffe, comedy in five acts by Molière, produced in 1664 and published in French in 1669 as Le Tartuffe; ou, limposteur (Tartuffe; or, The Imposter). It was also published in English as The Imposter.
Tartuffe is a sanctimonious scoundrel who, professing extreme piety, is taken into the household of Orgon, a wealthy man. Under the guise of ministering to the familys spiritual and moral needs, he almost destroys Orgons family. Elmire, Orgons wife, sees through Tartuffes wicked hypocrisy and exposes him.
