“Doing the rights things, even though no one knows about it, is much better to me than being known as a person who does the right things, especially if done for the wrong reasons.”

“Many Christians believe it better to be 'right' than to have a relationship with another. However, Jesus didn't teach us to be right.”

“Being a Christian isn’t about the rules but about the relationship we have with Jesus.”

“Christian ethical decisions should be based upon personal honor, interpersonal relationships with others including non-Christians, and moral implications of the decisions. Anything less than this violates the teachings of Jesus.”

“In my opinion, the Church only possesses the moral authority to speak to others about its ethics only when it holds itself accountable at the same time.”

“Unlike the uneducated Christian followers from centuries ago, the typical Christian today has a particularly high level of suspicion of organized religion, including an acute sensitivity to hypocrisy. Leaders who think otherwise today won’t lead many.”

“Llily-livered, pansy-assed, bleeding-heart, wishy-washy, America-hating, namby-pamby Christian judgments don’t adhere to the teachings of Jesus.”
