Well, I don't think the original post was implying he does. It was simply suggesting the hypocrisy of Christianity, regardless of what philosophy he uses in his own morality.
Martin, I don't think he's hung by his own rope; he's simply considering. His feeling toward hypocrisy or murder as being intrinsically wrong is irrelevant. It's not wrong to consider, even if the one considering may appear hypocritical based on their set of morals, in my opinion. Hell, I consider things all the time and sometimes don't have a 'good' or reasonable basis - I consider just to consider.
