For a great many Christians, church attendance is a relevant and deeply meaningful experience which can often be exciting and is frequently uplifting. Perhaps many of those who accuse the church of being boring have not attended a worship service for some time. A visit to church might shatter a few commonly held myths. Many of those who do attend a worship service after many years, find that they are entirely mistaken in their belief that services are dull and boring. But the reality is that the accusation of hypocrisy has become so commonplace that many people simply accept it without question.
Few people challenge the view that the church is hypocritical.
However, before we accuse the church and its members of hypocrisy, it is worth reminding ourselves that Christians do not actually claim to be any better than anyone else. Christians are united in their awareness that they do not measure up to their calling. To use the language of the Bible - we are all sinners. Christians are not in the business of claiming to be better than anyone else. On the contrary, they know that the only starting place in matters of faith is the acknowledgement that they fall short and mess up.
