Displaying your views and values over means that do and do not involve speech should correlate and be the same. Just because your entire family can see your Facebook doesn't mean that you should say that you're a Christian with conservative views. If you don't really believe what you write or say then why show that to the world? I choose to be the same over nonverbal and verbal means of communication. I dislike two faced people, and most people say they dislike them as well. Is it possible that most people saying that they don't like two faced people are being hypocrites and being two faced at that time?

I'm one of those people who say she dislikes two faced people. I'm not perfect, and at times I know I have not been true to my beliefs, but we all make mistakes. I try to be as true to my beliefs as I can.
I think that this form of hypocrisy also has a lot to do with self-esteem issues, or rather the fear of rejection. People may present themselves as, like you said, "Christian[s] with conservative views" to their family but act the complete opposite with their friends because of the fear of rejection from either their family or their friends; they may be afraid that their family will completely disapprove of their non-conservative values, or they may be afraid that their friends will reject them for their conservative values. In the culture that we live in, we ourselves have probably experienced rejection in one way or another, so I guess I can understand the possible reason behind the hypocrisy, but I definitely do not agree with it at all.
I agree with Naima. We are all human and sometimes crisis becomes a latent part of our lives, leaving us in distress and with a hurt heart, that may lead us into being untrue to our beliefs.
I don't think it is a matter of being two faced or a hypocrite, but as Naima is saying, we are not perfect and may sometimes react in ways that are strange even for us.
Yep, most people who claim to dislike two-faced people are themselves two-faced. We've all been there at some point, but there is an increasing amount of people who put on a front to please one group, and put on another front for another group. The true tragedy that befalls people who are too often two-faced is that somewhere along the line, they forget who they really are.
