He was most clear on His biggest pet peeve: excess wealth.

Yet those are three things that today's rightwing Christian doesn't care about.
Massive greed? That's called "prosperity gospel" now.

Condemning other people while ignoring your own Moat...in other words, religion is interpreted as needed for each individual cause.

I know there are good people out there who think they are good because of their faith, but it's not true. They are good people because they want to be good, just like most atheists do.

Oh, and that sin thing? All they have to do is ask for forgiveness, and it's all AOK.
