It is better to be an honest sinner then one that masks their sins behind a cloth. We should always strive to be as good as we can be but never act holy then we are. For example someone who wears the garb of a deeply spiritual person must keep his mind and soul on what is in front of him not only the good book he/she is reading. It should not be a costume that you present to the world but the honest deal for better or even worse. Nothing hurts those that strive to be holier then to see one they believe to be holy tumble to the ground and without a step of remorse in between.
