“So many people, in acting out their piety, their religious beliefs, their show of how they feel about prayer, can be called sanctimonious because, in reality, they do not live their prayer. Impressing others seems to be their value and standard for how their prayer is meant in the actual practice of charity, forgiveness, and following the Ten Commandments.
Sometimes acknowledging only the theory makes someone sanctimonious, because it is only the theory they recognize, and in their actions they not only substantiate the theory, but they put the theory into a workable order, eliminating the practice of piety and sincere spiritual exercises.
Many times sanctimonious people put a show on of what they pretend to believe, and then dominate everyone else, demanding they carry out practices of piety, virtue, and spiritual prayers.”
