It's the third one - amorality - that is largely misunderstood but crucial to identify and comprehend.

I'm capable offstage of having some dark, twisted thoughts but the kind of things I like to do onstage are just more conceptual and I don't even think of them as being clean. I don't sit down and think, "Man, I'm going to come up with some lily-white comedy!" They're just things that I like to talk about, and then at the end of the day you think, "Well, I guess that was clean" but it's not the focus. — Brian Regan

The gospel presents both high ideals and all-encompassing grace. Very often, however, the church tilts one direction or the other.
