People that donate over $90k to a church over a multi-year period probably deserve to be defrauded out of it IMO ...

That doesn't mean that the above should be twisted into any specific religious beliefs by me or not ... but people that pay significant money to support a religion should probably take a long walk and get some perspective about what religion really is

I went to a Mars Hill service with Driscoll years ago with an ex girlfriend. They had a rock band that played a song where the chorus was "nothing but the blood of Jesus!". The ex wasn't amused when I laughed at that.

Who cares where that money went... Retards weren't getting it back anyways. That's what happens when you flush money down the toilet.

It would be cool if Slayer covered it or something.

But why is organized religion like organized crime?

Obligatory

I have a Christian friend who would never run a church like a crime syndicate...

Only because he would blow it up and kill everyone inside on the first day.

What if Reign in Blood was actually about Jesus?
