How would you solve the budget?

[kwame k]

To say that exact thing hasn't happened and is happening..........would be disingenuous.

[FORD]

I guess people become preachers because they are greedy and see opening a church as a way to sell bullshit to people and make off like a bandit...

And not pay taxes...

Do I have it correct now ??

Well, actually......



...evidence would suggest that is often the case.

[ELVIS]

Sure it happens. Money and power corrupts people. Just look at the massive federal government...

Whatever happened to picking up the Cross and following in Jesus' footsteps......oh, and that vow of poverty thing.

[ELVIS]

What vow of poverty thing ??

[knuckleboner]

Shit....didn't see your post!

Excellent points

true. but yours had a little more meat to it. actually quoting the constitution. perhaps you're pining for a constitutional reading on the Front Line Floor...

The Priests from The Real Church take it but drive Cadillacs and wear expensive clothes.....they also receive an allowance.

Wait till I get a bit drunker

Well, the Guy who started the whole thing was a homeless unemployed transient ex-carpenter.

[kwame k]

Plus he was a communist, fascist, socialist....liberal!

How do you figure that, he taught people to fish...

If you can't turn a good enough profit to pay your taxes selling eternal life to the superstitious then you shouldn't be in business.

They can always make up some more shit if they need to increase the revenue. Increase the threats of hell or something.

Pay up or you spend eternity at a BBQ with Sammy Hagar telling you how much he gives to charity.

If anyone queries it just say the voices in your head from the invisible sky daddy told you.

churches sell a bill of good they cannot deliver........bernie madoff is in prison for doing the same thing........it's a ponzi scheme......
except since it's a church, it ok and legal.........boy how i don't think that's how it ought to be.

[FORD]

He definitely was NOT a fascist!

Liberal, definitely. As far as "socialist" or "communist", those terms were originally defined by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, who were both raised as Jews, much like JC Himself. True communism (not the USSR/Red China/Castro version) has its roots in the Torah.

[ELVIS]

The teachings of Jesus are conservative...
