Frequently Asked Questions

Question? What is the Hippocratic Party?

Answer: The Hippocratic Party is a reform‑minded movement dedicated to restoring integrity, accountability, and common sense to public service. Our motto captures the spirit of the project: First, do no harm. Second, Spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Third, do no insider trading.

At its core, the Hippocratic Party is a Jesus‑based satirical and editorial venture that explores the tension between integrity and pretense—especially our human tendency to crown ourselves larger‑than‑life. Through articles, illustrations, and biblical reflection, the site contrasts the Hippocratic ideal of truth‑telling with the ancient problem of hypocrisy. It also draws on the unforgettable imagery of the hippopotamus in the book of Job as a reminder of God’s untamable power and our proper place before Him.

Readers will find a blend of humor and conviction—an invitation to examine the masks we wear and rediscover the freedom of honest discipleship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question? What do you mean I'm already a member?

Answer: Because we are all sinners, hypocrisy becomes the instinctive reflex of the human heart—we hide what is broken, pretend we are whole, and judge others to distract from our own need for grace. The very condition that unites us in weakness is the same condition that tempts us to deny it, which is why Jesus confronts hypocrisy so fiercely: not because some are worse sinners, but because all of us are tempted to conceal the truth rather than confess it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question? Why “Hippocratic”?

Answer: The name “Hippocratic” captures the heart of what this project is about: the call to integrity. It echoes the ancient Hippocratic ideal of truth‑telling and “do no harm,” a standard that exposes how easily we drift into hypocrisy—the gap between the masks we wear and the lives we actually live. The Hippocratic Party uses that tension as fertile ground for satire, inviting readers to examine the difference between healing and pretending, honesty and performance.

But the name also nods to the hippopotamus in the book of Job—a creature so massive, untamable, and unbothered by human pretensions that it becomes a living reminder of God’s power and our smallness. Where hypocrisy inflates the self, the hippopotamus deflates it. Where the Hippocratic ideal calls us to integrity, the hippo calls us to humility.

Together, Hippocratic, hypocrisy, and hippopotamus form a three‑part lens:

  • the ideal we aspire to,
  • the failure we must confront,
  • and the God before whom all illusions collapse.
