I really like this book! It made me laugh out loud! I can’t tell if Rev Gantry is a psychopath or a sociopath. I put my money on the latter! Definitely a narcissist. This book takes a good look at what I believe religion and it’s representatives are really like, hence it’s controversy when it was first published! It has def triggered my interest in some different things..
