What's the biggest deviation from someone's religion or faith you've seen in an individual without them ceasing to be that religion or faith? (lemm.ee)

I was watching a video and it got me thinking about this. We all know the type. The Jewish friend who comes over every year to ask if you have any leftover Easter ham. The Buddhist who everyone will brag saved them in the war. The Bahai who adheres to reincarnation instead of Heaven. The other day, I met a Muslim walking his pet pig. A match made in Heaven.

What's the biggest deviation from the norm you've seen in someone of a certain religion who otherwise would show they genuinely believe in it?

Super Catholic lady cheating on her husband. Then living with the lover and sending the husband bible quotes. That happens to be my ex.

So sorry to hear that. Being cheated on is one of the most painful experiences. But it is a common thing I've seen from religious people. My best buddy found Jesus again because he is dating a married woman that is hardcore religious. They've been cheating together for nearly 15 years now. She is married to her husbands money and strings my buddy along like a puppy. Looks down on others because they don't do what she believes the bible wants. Fantastic hypocrisy right? I do hope there is an actual Hell for those type because they rarely suffer the consequences for their lack of following their own religion.
