Summary

This quote highlights a perspective on atheism, suggesting that Christians themselves are responsible for its prevalence. It argues that many Christians claim to believe in Jesus, yet fail to consistently live out their faith in their actions and behavior. This incongruence between their words and lifestyle leads to disbelief among non-believers, who find it difficult to accept a faith that doesn't align with the actions of its followers. Ultimately, this quote aims to emphasize the importance of living a life that is congruent with one's professed beliefs.

He's a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back -- that's an earthquake. And then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you're finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory.
