Excellent example. Great at telling people how to live, while he leads a jetset lifestyle with a mansion in TN.

"That's how Al Gore can have a 10,000 ft2 mansion in Tennessee and the Hollywood liberals can have their Malibu estates, while telling us that we're just too wasteful with Mother Earth's resources ..."

They learned it from you Evangelical "Christians"!

en.wikipedia.org

"The eye of a needle" is part of a phrase attributed to Jesus by the synoptic gospels:

...I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

The parallel versions appear in Matthew 19:23-24, Mark 10:24-25 and Luke 18:24-25.

The saying was a response to a young rich man who had asked Jesus what he needed to do in order to inherit eternal life. Jesus replied that he should keep the commandments, sell all his possessions, give the money to the poor, and then follow Jesus. The young man was unwilling to do this. Jesus then spoke this response, leaving his disciples astonished.

Why is it the examples you use are Gore and the Hollywood liberals? Oh right.....you would never criticize your own. Never mind.
