Viva la Revolucion!
Come join us in our ignorance and elaborate rituals which endeavour to turn bizarre fantasies into realities!
Join us and eat of the flesh and drink of the blood and you'll be saved!
Join us and give generously that the work of God can spread throughout the world and we can acquire lots of real estate and investments! Yeah!
I always found it funny that the Catholic religion teaches humility and poverty as a way to salvation and that Jesus in the Bible said that the elaborate ceremonies are pointless. Yet all the religious ceremonies are based on is extravagant costumes, gold is seen to abound everywhere and etc. you get the point.
damian - I know what you are saying. The Vatican is filled with wealth. Priests live like kings even in neighborhoods filled with hunger and poverty. Protestants are the same way. The pastors and ministers are all cared for with comfortable homes, nice cars, etc while many of their parishoners are scraping by at poverty level. Then the TBN people are the same way...on stages with gold everywhere, gold jewelry and huge pink hairdos, glamorous clothing and talk of wealth. They even describe heaven with streets paved with gold and many mansions, etc. They interpret the bible literally on what they choose to, and do not see that it is only metaphor.
Greedy bastards.
