I'm not making this shit up; these are the words of your God. They are hypocrits because they pray in public (6:5). The next verse prescribes the remedy, which you apparently wish to ignore. The context and meaning are clear and unavoidable. You can follow the teaching or admit that the word of your god doesn't trump your conviction.
