Someone said:
`Hypocrisy implies an intent to deceive.

Surely that's lying?

`A worshipper would only be hypocritical if he claimed that he loved the god
`when he didn't (since the issue of existence isn't really relevant in
`Glorantha).

Lying again.

`Perhaps in Gloranthan terms one could be a hypocrite if one claimed to
`adhere to a virtue such as honor or generousity but then failed to
`demonstrate that virtue, but that's a question of practice, not belief.

Perhaps it would make more sense to say that someone would be a hypocrite if they preach to others to Love their God and then didn't themselves, it is not so much claiming to adhere to a virtue and then not doing it, that is simply lying, telling others to be courageous and then running like a girl, that's hypocritical, IMO.
