Can you really call it "professing" if nobody actually believes you and you know nobody will believe you?

[–] Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Yes.

Profess: 1) To affirm openly; declare or claim. 2) To make a pretense of; pretend.

If one makes a pretense of holding beliefs, feelings, or values that one does not hold, one is a hypocrite.

Whether anyone else understands the pretenses of the hypocrite or not does not change the definitions of the words.
