I actually don't know much about the guy. I mean, I know who he was and I'm aware that he attracted huge crowds, but it interested me about as much as any of them do. My only connection to him came from the God Squad friend of whom I've spoken before, who went into the church himself. He once told me he had an audio tape of the guy's speeches or whatever, which had become garbled and played at varying speeds - he told me that it was a fantastic improvement.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's funny how conservative Christians conveniently ignore the fact that there are a lot of fellow believers who are left wing in their politics. A left wing Christian? Didn't know there was such a thing.

Let me guess. In your world, left-wing = Marxist. Right?
Lol.

Jesus: Feed the hungry! Take care of the poor!
Conservative Jesus: FUCK THE HUNGRY! FUCK THE POOR TOO!
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

If the meek and mild Jesus depicted in the bible showed up in America, the Cons would lock him up as a dirty hippy.

Books can be your friends. Parochialism is a choice.

"What Jesus fails to understand is that it is the meek who are the problem," said Reg in Life of Brian.
