Pray harder, you fat mother****er. Or at least fast a little...

Or ask the fags for help. I'm sure they'll be glad to donate to your church

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Meh

That still doesn't top the evangelist ( forget which one ) who climbed up into his magic jesus tower and told his flock that god would strike him dead if he didn't get a fat amount of cash by a certain date.

 

[sanjuro]

The problem is that no one knows how the money is being spent so Rick Warren can claim he is spending 90% of his fundage on charitable projects.

Not that I was going to give him a penny...

would you trust a guy named creflo?

How do you find this s**t?
But just off to the left of the "Renewing Your Mind" title , is that a frontal photo of a man in a speedo or a bible spread?

 

[sanjuro]

btw, I do think he will get the $$$, even without pulling an Oral Roberts...

 

[stevew]

How do you find this s**t?

he is on every sunday morning....i think every sermon i have ever heard is about giving him/god money and your problems in life disappearing.

 

[JohnE]

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven...

What a schmuck. Did God ever threaten to close up shop because of monetary problems?

Rick warren is simply a "name it and claim it" business man.

his plan was set inot motion from day one. his church was never sirit moved nor was his believer grown.

before borrowing the money for a mega he he searched the US for the largest population density by zip code and highest average income median. he then prepared for an easter day opening and hired 1200 personel to go door to door about the service.

the loan was payed off after the first easter service, he had 2 others.

he had a consulting firm help him with a best selling book plan and hired a marketing team that rivaled opra. his book was on the best sellers list for 5 months straight.

bottom line.....if people are stupid enough to let others influence the money out of there wallet consider yourself lucky that someone is distracting them from creating worse problems.

summary:

religion = pyramid scheme



IMHO, organized religion kinda defeats the purpose.

I've always though he was a most appropriately named minister. Rev. Dollar.

 

[JohnE]

This will end badly for Pastor Warren... there will be a mistress or a boyfriend somewhere.

 

[Dartman]

When will mankind rise above the need for religion?

 

[sanjuro]

I knew it...

Evangelical pastor Rick Warren says his call for donations to fill a $900,000 deficit at his Southern California megachurch has brought in $2.4 million.

[JohnE]

There is a sucker born every minute. These ones think they are buying their way into heaven...

 

[Silver]

I knew it...

My thread title was a rhetorical question, of course. Warren didn't ask God because God doesn't exist. Like JohnE said, suckers do.

Lots of them...

I'm not bothered by donating to the church.

I would be bothered to donating any charity which does not release its records.

You're a sucker if you sent more than a penny.

What's a two pound KFC and booze shlt worth?


I've got a number in mind, but I'll admit, I don't know market value, but that's what I sent in good faith knowing that god will sort it all out.

I'm kind of familar with Rick Warren, read The Purpose Driven Life waaaayyy back in the day. I'm certainly not going to defend him, but I'd be curious as to the source for your post.

I'll send him a peso. That's what, 7 cents these days?

Don't even get me started on these Saddleback folks and their hypocracy.

.077 to be exact. Seems like too much to me.

It would wind up costing more, because of postage.

BTW, I read this about Uganda and their "Kill the Gay" law:

Uganda has also become a magnet for American evangelical groups. Some of the best known Christian personalities have recently passed through here, often bringing with them anti-homosexuality messages, including the Rev. Rick Warren, who visited in 2008 and has compared homosexuality to pedophilia. (Mr. Warren recently condemned the anti-homosexuality bill, seeking to correct what he called

that he played a role in it.)

Does anyone else get a kick out of a bunch of "straight" "white" "christian" "men" calling themselves THE FAMILY?
