I'm never surprised by anything religions do when it comes to money.
Decent people would be supportive of a sick or ailing member.
But religious people like this aren't decent people. They're greedy bastards
A short anecdote on the subject:
I collect watches, and research them to the point of obsession. You could easily say I've got the equivalent of an Associates degree or better on the subject. I can identify watches with a high degree of accuracy from a decent distance away.
Anyway, I attended a catholic service during the holidays with an ex and her family. A very large portion of the service was about the sins of materialism/wealth/etc and how we should give more money to the poor. He had the balls to say such things with a $15,000.00 Rolex on his wrist! (Two tone gold/stainless Submariner 116613LN)
It wasn't taken kindly when I openly commented on that fact...
Precisely this.
I get so pissed when I hear these proponents of the so called "prosperity gospels" conning the poor and desperate out of their money and then claiming their god and Jesus will bless them.
It seems they didn't read the bible, since it says (paraphrased) that someone who does not give all their possessions to the poor cannot be a Christian (of course, it also says that you can't be a follower if you don't hate your family, also).
