    We Need a New Word

    We need a word for people who claim to be a certain religion but at the same time violate that religion's beliefs with the vigor and enthusiasm of a Dom/me in a rape fantasy porno.

    Living in Indiana at the moment, I'm thinking of 'good Christians' that would just as soon murder gay people on sight than 'turn the other cheek' as their godsdamned holy book explicitly states. But, it should be a word we could apply to anyone who doesn't uphold the teachings of said religion, so we could tack it on to horrible people of any faith. (Blank) Christians, (Blank) Pagans, (Blank) Muslims, etc.

    I've heard the phrase: 'Christians in name only,' but we need something shorter and punchier. Suggestions?

    Hipocrites, fundamentalists...
    Those with a narrow view who in short, care more about how the particulars of their religion can divide, rather than the primary message which could unite.

          I'd go with hypocrites. A zealot doesn't necessarily have to be someone like Paul was.

                  To a degree. Sparing use of it in general forums will not bring wrath of mod. F-bombs tend to get edited on sight but a** can be used sparingly. Sparingly is up to staff interpretation though, abuse will get our attention.
                  life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

                  Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

                  "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

                  John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

                  "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

                  Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

                    Nomenal = "In name only"

                    Mary Rowlandson, author of the first best seller published in North America (1682), and a Puritan, used "nomenal Christian" for that purpose.
                    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
