The Lord works in mysterious ways. He giveth and (in this case) he taketh away.

[Theland]

People steal from cancer charities, and any other charity you care to name.
Big money preachers prey on the gullible?
Dishonesty is prevalent.

[bookbinder]

Yes, but where has the money actually gone? Who's got it?

Luke 6:30
//Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back//
Yep, follow the commands of Jesus and get fleeced. (Is that why his followers are called sheep...cuz they get fleeced?)

There will be some return on all the snake oil that must be stored about the place, surely.

[Mamyalynne]

People are far too trusting.

/// there was a budget of £300,000 just for outfits ///

I honestly had never noticed how the price of fig leaves had esculated!

[nailit]

not just the fig leaves Baldric surely. Talking snakes don't come cheap you know, they are a rare breed and so can charge a lot for services rendered :-)

[Tilly2]

This is a really sad thread. Those poor people have lost so much. Not just their money but their church and probably their faith as well. Shocking!

[Theland]

Nailit - What is your problem?
Why are you so full of hatred for Christianity?
These comments you make say far far more about you, than they do about Christianity.
You call people deluded, yet people who are deluded simply don't know it, hence, delusion.
Have you considered the possibility that it could be you who is deluded?
You have no way of knowing unless you measure your beliefs with some objective outside reference point.
Have you done this?
Or are you simply one of those people who knows they are right, because they think they are right?

[Theland]

Tilly - People get scammed all of the time. Pensions, savings, you know the score.
Religion is a soft underbelly to expose people to even more callous criminality.

[nailit]

Hello Theland,
I see you are here with your usual
//Why are you so full of hatred for Christianity?// thing.
Im not full of hatred for Christianity so carry on and have an argument with yourself about a non existant claim from myself.

[Theland]

Sheesh! Am outa here again!
Have a good rant. Inaccurate as always. Maybe see you next week. Or not. This category is destroyed by nasty atheism. I can live without it.

[nailit]

Theland
For the umpteenth time...
*I DONT HATE CHRISTIANITY*
Got that?

*I DO* love facts and reason.
Hope I made that clear but doubt it!

[nailit]

//Inaccurate as always//
Feel free to point out whats innacurate. Oh you cant because you are outta here.
Ah well.

[douglas9401]

Good cop-bad cop or The Chuckle Brothers.

They need defining. :-)

[nailit]

//This category is destroyed by nasty atheism//
So anything that debates anything different from what you preach is 'nasty'?
Glad to know where we all stand then.

[Tilly2]

This is nothing to do with the original post. I do wish that you two would stop your perpetual, same old, boring disagreement and stick to the subject.

[nailit]

Which is why I have created a separate post Tills ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

I agree with you Tilly, very sad.
