You may say, 'God doesn't hate anybody. God is love.' No, my friend. You need to understand something.

Please don't kill me! But I will not deny Him!' He died in a pool of blood, and you talk about being a radical Christian because you wear a t-shirt!

The preachers are the greatest problem in the United States of America.
