"Actually, Jesus told people to quit their jobs and follow him in an ascetic lifestyle."
"Ha ha! Yeah. I just wish that Jesus had said things more clearly so that people would understand better."
"Do you mean His words should be rephrased so that everyone would think more like you?"
"Hunh?"
"Really? Do you want to understand better?"

"Why don't you want to understand?"
"I do understand."
"But you said it was unclear."

"I don't think you're being honest."
"Most people misinterpret the Bible."
"But not you."
"Right."
