You would have to live in a small American town in Michigan or West of the Mississippi to imagine the frightening atmosphere when a revival tent comes to town. If you don't whoop for Jesus, they'll tear you apart. These are ANGRY people.
       I didn't mean that they literally expurgate the bible. What I meant to say was that they ignore all the economic CORE of the Bible -- the core around which its melodramatic stories were built, to convince the Jews that to fall away from social righteousness would bring down upon their heads the wrath of God and lead to their defeat (by Assyria or another hand of the Lord).
       The Christians believe that they should act as the avenging arm of God against anybody who would criticize the rich, thereby turning the Bible on its head.
       Evidently there are few Christians who actuall READ the book. They just go to church and get the selected sermons, usually about how if they jump for Jesus he'll make them rich as a blessing for their piety in worshiping private property.
