"You've got to remember that Christianity in America is mainly about sex. They're so deeply uncomfortable about every aspect of sex that they don't much care about wars or destroying the environment or financial corruption, but anything to do with sex sets them off. And it's because these people are operating at a very, very low level of mental health; they are incapable of understanding the teaching [of Jesus]."
