Within the sarcasm of that whole story is a message about hypocrisy.

One of my all-time favorite comedians was the extremely vulgar and hard-partying Sam Kinnison.

Sam was a fire-and-brimstone evangelical minister. He was a real preacher as was his father.

A lot of his jokes were very acerbic comments on hypocrisy and many folks did not understand that.

As far as I know, he never lost his faith, just his tolerance for hypocrisy.

Thank link reminded me of him.

From the article:

The church's New Zealand branch says it is "formed by people tired of being disenfranchised for thinking rationally." (emphasis mine)

I'm clearly missing something here...
