"The devil was jus’ a-struttin’ through this here camp…An’ don’ you think them sinners is puttin’ nothin’ over on God, neither. No, sir, He’s a-chalkin’ ’em up sin by sin, an’ He’s drawin’ His line an’ addin’ ’em up sin by sin. God’s a-watchin’, an’ I’m a-watchin’. He’s awready smoked two of ’em out."
– John Steinbeck
The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 22. A self-declared "Jesus-lover" corners Rose of Sharon in the Weedpatch camp to warn her about the sinful ways of the people there, especially the dancing and play-acting. Sandry’s idea of religion ironically revolves around judgement of others, righteousness and the gospel of fear. This is the very perversion of religion and one that Jim Casy has turned his back on.
