"I used ta get the people jumpin’ an’ talkin’ in tongues and glory-shoutin’ till they just fell down an’ passed out. An’ some I’d baptize to bring ’em to. An’ then – you know what I’d do? I’d take one of them girls out in the grass, an’ I’d lay with her. Done it ever’ time. Then I’d feel bad, an’ I’d pray an’ pray, but it didn’t do no good. Come the next time, them an’ me was full of the sperit, I’d do it again."
– John Steinbeck
The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 4. Jim Casy explains to Tom Joad why he stopped being an evangelical minister. After successfully rousing his congregation and baptizing people, he would commit the unholy and sinful act of taking one of the girls out into the fields to have sex with her. Although remorseful for abusing his position and taking advantage of women, he admits to repeatedly doing it.
