Why do Reformed Samaritans use phrases like “Peace be upon him”? And why do they seem to speak well of some people [or institutions] while at the same time criticizing them? Isn’t that a veiled form of hypocrisy?

If Reformed Samaritanism (R. S. ) isn’t a veiled form of Islam, why would it’s literature include phrases like “peace be upon him”?... And if R. S. isn’t another “flavour” of Christianity, then why do we find it using expressions like “Christianity is a perfectly valid religion”? Finally, if R. S. isn’t another branch of Judaism, why would it make use of Jewish and/or Talmudic literature?
The reason for all of the former is quite simple. You see, Reformed Samaritanism demands the pursuit of honesty, as well as intellectual integrity; and that's why it’s literature includes ideas like, “truth, though severe, is of all friends the most sincere”, “The illusion that exalts us is dearer to us than ten thousand truths“, “the truth is always less interesting that the fiction”, and “I'm for truth, no matter who tells it”).
And of course, the natural result of such commitment is that R. S. opposes any kind of “binary” (" black or white", " all or nothing", etc) theology. In other words, we are discouraged from blindly embracing all that is said [or done] by any great religious establishments (since the establishments first commitment isn’t truth, but rather growth and power perpetuation). Thus, the Reformed Samaritan is expected to follow godly moral principles, and not religious establishments.
In short, R. S. teaches that we should embrace goodness, and reject evil [regardless of their respective sources]. How can we tell apart one from the other? Very simple! Goodness is whatever is [directly or indirectly] in agreement with God's Ten “sayings” (or commandments)-- whose spirit is none other than to “sow” honesty, integrity, respect, high moral values, holiness, justice, mercy, and humility. On the other hand, evil is whatever denies, opposes, or undermines God’s commandments.
Why are we asked to “sow” goodness? We are commanded to do so because God’s judgment is executed thru the Divine law of “sowing and reaping”; whereby we are eventually forced to “reap” the same goodness we’ve “sown” [as well as the evil we have willingly planted, without ever repenting from it].
And from whence do we know Divine truth isn’t “all or nothing” [as flawed people and institutions often feature merits that are actually pleasing to the Almighty]? We know it from Edom; whom, though having the criminal intent to kill his brother, was nonetheless sensible enough to spare Isaac from unnecessary suffering (delaying Jacob’s execution, thereby honoring his aged father). As is written: «… and Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob”»- Genesis 27: 41, King James Bible.
Thus, though a potential criminal, Edom did have the merit of honoring his father. And since Edom honored his father, the Heavenly Father considdered Edom worthy of reaping the same honor he had formerly bestowed. How? First, by letting him accumulate so much wealth that he could afford having a 400 men strong army. Secondly, by giving him [during his own lifespan] the power to conquer giants, thereby inheriting the giant's country (Mount Seir); a country bordering the promised land.

And since Edom honored his father, the Heavenly Father considered him worthy of reaping the same honor he had previously bestowed. How? First, by letting him accumulate so much wealth that he could afford having a 400 men strong army. Secondly, by giving him [during his lifespan] the power to conquer giants, thereby inheriting the giant's country (Mount Seir); a country bordering the Promised Land.
As is written: “And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle. Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom”- Genesis 36: 6-8...
... And also says elsewhere, “The Horims [a race of giants] also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the Lord gave unto them”- Deut. 2: 12, KJB).
Thus, it is proper for Reformed Samaritans to pay their respect to Edom’s merits, by evoking him using phrases like, “peace be upon him”. Likewise, it is not hypocritical [but rather intellectually honest] to state that, though an awesome example of being a caring son, Edom was also a violent person; one who “lived by his sword” [in other words, a person whose safety depended upon the shedding of someone else blood! ].

Be intellectually honest!

If you are going to compare your religion with that of your competitors, be intellectually honest about it– don’t play the deceptive mind game of comparing your religious best with their religious worst; rather, compare your best with their best, and your worst with their worst.
And, if your competitor excels you in any practice [or belief], be humble enough to admit it, trying to make it part of your own experience.
And from whence do we know this? We know it from Moses, who followed Jethro’s legal advise, even though the latter refused to follow Israel into the wilderness.
As is written: “Now listen to me; I will give you some advice, and God be with you. You be the one to represent the people before God and bring their cases to him. Instruct them about the statutes and laws, and teach them the way to live and what they must do. But you should select from all the people able men, God-fearing, trustworthy, and hating dishonest profit. Place them over the people as commanders of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens…
... They should judge the people at all times. Then they can bring you every major case but judge every minor case themselves. In this way you will lighten your load, and they will bear it with you. If you do this, and God so directs you, you will be able to endure, and also all these people will be able to go home satisfied… Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said… [and] Moses let his father-in-law go, and he journeyed to his own land”- Exodus 18: 19-24, & 27 (Christian Standard Bible)
