LOL!!!!

Hey, we both belong to the same church!

Now I''ve got that Benny Hill theme song playing in my head! Yep, it must be a religion.

Lest anyone give Grassley too much credit for taking on these 6 crooked ministries, don''t ever forget that Grassley is a member of "The Family", a secret "Christian" society who members have joined in a covenant to rule the world. See http://www.harpers.org/archive/2003/03/0079525 for an inside look at "The Family".

Prosperity Ministries---------- computer says....Nah. The title you were searching for was Flim-Flam Bible Bangers or Con Men for Christ. But, then again, that''s exactly how we got the Cowardly Cowboy as President. There is a "very special" place in Hell for these scumbags!

"Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion."

- L. Ron Hubbard

(Or in the case of this article, just use an existing religion and create a false hope).

Don''t care what thier political leaning is it''s just what they think will do them the most good lately repuplicain is the party of thieves. These moroons think they will sit at the right hand of god. They should be taxed and imprisioned they are ruining our society with there hipocracy period.

"Prosperity" ministries.... Amway... what''s the difference?!

If you have ever been invited (duped) into going to an Amway convention (or any one of those pyramid scheme conventions)... your jaw would drop at the absolute hysteria and disgusting display of human mind control in your life!

Honestly, people are crying at these events! Some of those who gave speeches cried too! Seriously, Amway and pyramid-schemes like that are nearly a religion in themselves... based on the way some of the people act about them.

Without either money or (mind) control, you cannot have a religion. L Ron Hubbard felt the same way.

Religion in this country has become a multi-billion dollar corporation that is a parasite feeding off the public. They don''t pay a dime in taxes. But, they always have their hand in the taxpayer''s pocket for still more money to fund their brainwashing. I think it''s time to take the profit out of religion and demand they start paying their fair share of the tax load. As long as this is a profitable venture for every snake oil salesman around there are going to be charlatan''s in Christianity. My Grandmother would have given Jerry Falwell every dime she had if her children hadn''t cut off her supply and told her ''no''. You couldn''t get anymore Christian than woman was. She gave Christianity a bad name like singinrick does! These charlatan''s prey on the elderly and super-religious bigots. Promising them things they can not deliver. They are parasite''s in our society that need to be rooted out.
