I used to work with/for this guy that claimed to be some great born-again
holier-than-thou etc... was widely regarded by those who knew him as a
downright reprehensible human being.
I was going off about this bonehead and his religious hypocrisy one day
where my mother overheard and she said:

"Be glad for him, those are the people that need those teachings the
most..."

Sometimes ya gotta listen to your mother.

Cya,
Robert
