Perhaps. But you can kill more flies with vinegar than you can with honey.
The gospel is about killing people Phat - surely you know that.

Well, well, it's the hoity-toity Father Ian, after all!
That's another piece (along with the "hard gospel" :rolleyes of that somethin' else (we often call it bull, here) that draws flies.
