Jebus just loves that money!

That woman needs to walk right up to her pastor and tell him to kiss every square inch of her ASS! Why should someone get a phoney collection notice, just because the pastor needs a car  to match his new suit? Even when I went to church I never tithed properly. It embarrassed the hell out of my mother, but I refused to give the pastor 10% of shit.

You know? These moochers need a dose of Ayn Rand, expecting something for nothing. Maybe they should pray for the money?

Oh, wait.

Church Sends Member Delinquent Notice

WTF?

Well, theoretically if she's just on the hook for $1,000 she's in good shape.  The biblical rule is for 10% of a person's gross income.  And the Fourth Commandment (Exodus 34:20) states that you have to bring something (nowadays that's cash) every time you go to church.

Remember how Jesus was checking out the people as they were forking over their money to the temple treasury.  He remarked quiet favorably about the widow who tossed in her two mites (pennies).  Of course Jesus never put in any money himself but that's beside the point.  Fork over 10% or swim in the lake of fire.

Classic. "Do as I say, not as I do."

Well, there is a lot of fixed costs that have to be covered by donations.  Utility bills, insurance, mortgage, books, printing, stamps, etc.  Then there's wages.  Paul was able to steal from other churches but most churches today are small businesses operated by a couple of people.  If they do it full time they have to make a living in modern day America and that's expensive.  They don't have the guaranteed income fixed rules like the Levites had.  A lot of the megachurches as well as smaller churches have gone out of business.

The lutheran church I was formerly a member of nearly went under after spending a metric shit-ton of money on an elevator maybe three people used.  (the olde one worked just fine).  I was in the minority when I voted against it.  

Begging for money never sat well with me.

Well, if people were true Christians and real believers they wouldn't have any money in the first place.  They would give it all to the poor, ensuring that the poor had food, clothes, and housing.  Why should a church have to beg for money from its members?  That only indicates that the members will end up in the lake of fire because they are stingy and don't have a speck of charity.  

Speaking of Lutheran churches, I saw one of their more modern church buildings up for sale.  It's members must not have been real believers.  Luther would be so sad.

If this isn't proof that religion is a scam, then I don't know what is.

This is religion in a nutshell:
