There's nothing wrong with making a lot of money, there's something wrong with keeping it.

Who's to say that there is any more support for Freud's psychoanalytic concept of the superego than there is for that old time religion that asserted that there is a God who ordains what is right and wrong, and that His righteousness endures for all generations?

In America, evangelical churches have often been bastions of conservatism, providing support for the status quo.
Tony Campolo
The real problem that I think those of us who are evangelicals and Democrats have to face up to is that the political right controls the religious media.
