spiritual rejection based on perceived hypocrisy

"The jailer wouldn’t have been drawn to their faith had they not been visibly different than the average prisoner."

"Many people of all sorts, including atheists and agnostics and Hindus, don’t live consistently with what they profess to believe. ... In other words, Christians don’t own the monopoly on hypocrisy."

"... the gospel is all about Jesus. The Jesus that Christians believe in is good, even when His followers violate His teachings. ... The Bible never says you have to believe in Christians to be saved. It says you have to believe in Jesus"
