Again, the lack if holiness or piety in your post makes my point. You may not know that Jerry Garcia was a baptized Catholic. Will you be sad if publicans and sinners go into the kingdom of God before you ?
How ironic, that statement is an example of your idea of holiness and piety?
Accusing the brethren?
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.--Rev 12:10
I have never claimed either one, I am just a sinner not deserving (non of us are) of the love, grace and Salvation that Jesus offers to us and which I have received.
The only thing holy about me is Jesus, as He is in me and I in Him.
I'm quite familiar with the history of Garcia, in fact of the G Dead also.
Did a favor for them at the Altamont concert where they preformed.

Only if I was as holy as the "holiness" you seem to project.
There is this though, from the Bible, 1 Peter 1:
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Perhaps you would like to incorporate this attitude into your posts:
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than himself.--Philippians 2:3
