"You guys know it's impossible for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, right? Do you yokels not know how to decipher an analogy?"
P.S. If anyone ever throws the "It was the name of a gate in Jerusalem" at you, those kinds of gates are called wicket gates and were not invented until about 1000 years after the Gospels were written. The verse means what it plainly says: it's impossible.
Also the text says

Most people who call themselves Christians do a piss poor job of it. Some of them then go "oh well I'll be forgiven it's okay". That's not really following the intent. That's trying to take advantage of someone's kindness.
This is why I stopped being Christian. I recognized that whatever good in me would be forever obscured if I used God as a shroud, and I was 100% prone to simply saying 'sorry God, nbd yeah?' .
It's also the reason I just don't trust Christians or Christian knockoffs (Mormons). You can't.
