You said
"We strain at a gnat while elephants parade past us."

I like that. I use Elephant quotes all over my writing (in another
place), but I've not heard that one. I'll treasure it.

Actually, depending on your point of view, it is a liberal translation or
blasphemous miss quoting of Our Lord Savior Jesus. He actually says, "You
blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel."

He spends a big chunk of Matthew 23 bitching out the Pharisees. You know
stuff like:

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like
whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are
full of dead men's bones and everything unclean."

"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to
hell?"

Or this one for Bo:

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel
over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make
him/her twice as much a son of hell as you are."

Jesus would fit right in here...
