In an excellent book written by Chris Willman entitled "Rednecks & Bluenecks," Snider told Willman that "I’m a Christian, but I must’ve got a defective Bible or something. Mine didn’t tell me to change anybody, or tell me to hunt and destroy all sin. Mine said forgiveness was the most important thing there was and pride was the worst. Mine said if someone takes your shirt, give them your coat. Mine said it was easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle on a camel’s back that it is for him to enter the gates of heaven. Passing through the eye of a needle on a camel’s back is the American dream."  This mind concept helps Todd Snider in his music career. Todd Snider is also a man of humor.
