Is it hypocrisy of falsely perceived hypocrisy?

I would vote for "falsely perceived hypocrisy."

What is the sacrilege in offending Christians? I have known some pretty offensive bible spouters; whether or not they are Christian is another matter.

Not trying to be sarcastic, but you may want to try looking up the meaning of the word.

Uh, perhaps he was making a distinction between "professed christian" and "practicing christian." If I claim to be a "born-again christian," but promulgate hatred and malcontent, is that truly being a christian? Fred Phelps claims to be a heaven-bound christian, with a frighteningly large following, but with his ACTIVE promotion of EXTERMINATION of a SIGNIFICANT segment of our planet's population, is he TRULY a CHRISTIAN?

Irrelevant to the topic.
Lexically, perhaps. But not within the contextual parameters you set up in the first sentence of your original post.

...No, not Christian. Sacrilegious.

As much as a homosexual, like you, should just "have to deal" with intolerance?

By your definition, this could also be sacrilegious. And you don't see any hypocrisy there, do you?
