As if the Protestant idea of the Prosperity Gospel is any different.
Your're so fucking stupid. Medieval peasants didn't have disposable income to give to the church. Indulgences were only sought from those that had money. Your modern day huckster is far worse, he/she attempts to suck the last dime from the paranoid elderly, knowing they're close to death. Fear mongering for profit at its best.
I can't imagine why Jesus needs money. Even if he did, why ask self anointed charlatans to transact the deal? Are you telling me that Jesus can miraculously create a shit load of fish and loaves and water out of wine, but currency kicks his ass?
I recollect correctly my infant/childhood church bliked money out of children during lent. I'm pretty sure Janasses does also.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
