They'd be better off getting some miracle spring water from Peter Popoff. God is supernaturally cancelling debts!

There is at least eight St. Benedict bones in every chicken.

I read somewhere that if all 'authentic' pieces of the True Cross were brought together and reassembled, the resultant crucifix would be something like 180 feet high. Similarly, if these purveyors of fraud mentioned in the link included a stone from the Cave of The Nativity in each cross they sell, the resultant mining would make the Cave bigger than the Flavian Amphitheatre.
Then again, no one ever lost money betting against the cupidity of religious hucksters. Or the stupidity of their customers.

Is an 8 headed John the Baptist any funnier than Christ getting crucified on Thursday and Friday ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Makes you think the whole Passion narrative took place inside a house of mirrors, dunnit?
