There it is in boldface. Christianity is, among other things, a grift, a con game, a mechanism to separate the marks from their cash. I'm not certain you get any more blatant than this. The problem is that, important though this story may be, it's a safe bet it'll never see the evening news, much as it should.
And so long as faith is seen as a virtue, it never will.
The man playing Moon-Watcher (Daniel Richter) is an interesting guy. Only made two movies and the music video for John & Yoko's "Imagine." He's climbed over 500 peaks in North America.
By focusing on actual theft, these analysts actually help hide the true grift which is the entire hoax of the Christian religion: believing a guy named Jesus, born from a virgin, became "God."
Yeah, immaculate conception = lied about conception. Faith = willful ignorance. Died for your sins? What? For three days and then--lied about the length of his “vacation”??? LOL But, they’re sure he is coming— someday which = perpetual delusion.

I've always found it a bit odd how the divine being who could will the universe into existence is always short of money. There are sincere religious people who try to do good work, but there is also fraud on a massive scale. Charities are regulated for a reason, other than the religiously affiliated ones. For some reason they get a pass and fraudsters go where the money is.
I’ve been telling this tale for many decades now. Religion is the biggest scam ever perpetuated on mankind unless you add unnecessary wars to the equation.
Yeah, it’s all about controlling the masses. Getting them to believe in fairytales as real is an alternate reality that could be called brainwashing (I would).
The deal with the devil the pope made with Hitler was that the church would not stand against Hitler and in return Hitler would not plunder the church’s riches. At the time, many Germans were catholic. Maybe most —it’s been a long time since I studied it in depth.
Their Fuhrer himself was a staunch Catholic. An altar boy, even.

Goebbels, too. Though he was excommunicated because he married a Protestant. Nothing about being tossed out for his hand in the Holocaust (the RCC has a long history with Anti-Semitism). He wasn't even given the heave-ho because of his womanizing/adultery. Just the Catholic/Protestant thing. Holy Mother Church had its priorities, after all. :S
I take offense that you are even dare saying that my obvious siphoning of funds is even remotely immoral. As we know and as Jesus preached, the love of money is the root of all evil. If those charity dollars are given to the poor, it exposes them to evil and to sin, and thus risks their immortal soul. So what is worse, a few years of starvation ending in a pitiful death, or an eternity in hell? No, instead I am assuming all of the risk. I am risking my soul for the salvation of hundreds. I am the hero. The only thing that you can fault me for is not taking even more money..... hmm,.... I see you're not convinced,.... **puts on Prosperity Gospel hat** If I could take the money, and God has not stopped me, that can only mean that God wills me to have the money, because I am a favored child of God. The money is my reward from God, and who are you to question God's will? Those poor people wouldn't be poor if only they had more faith in God. So if anyone is to blame for this situation is the poor,...... Hmm,.. still not convinced? ...... Quick! Look over there. There is a drag queen reading a book about two gay penguins to a transgendered youth! **hops in my Bentley and drives away**
Okay, but... what's the number if we include the rest of it? We're just talking about what religious leaders steal from their religions, after all- not whole sum of money religion rakes in from its adherents, who could better spend it on... *𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴* ...literally anything else. So... what's the overall take? Enough to solve world hunger? Enough to wipe out poverty? Enough to stick a fork in climate change? How much money is religion, 𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺, leeching off the world?
Christian leaders will continue to hide these financial crimes, just as they have hidden sexual crimes. There isn’t a pastor anywhere in this country who wants to see the offerings diminish or the clientele disappear.
They are far better at hiding financial crimes than sexual crimes. Remember how all those churches “mysteriously” went bankrupt JUST BEFORE they have pay settlements money to their sexual assault victims?
Don’t forget Vatican City is its own country, so they don’t have to pay taxes. The pope sits on a literal throne made exclusively of precious metals and studded with gemstones, wears enough bling to make even the tackiest pimps look like paupers, and the building is littered with “treasure rooms” each containing millions upon millions of dollars worth of literal treasure.
They have the “financial crimes” part fine tuned into an art.
Not surprising, coming from the man who thought 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 was comedy gold (I'ma link Ronny Chieng's much funnier Daily Show clapback instead of Watters' original segment from back when he was Bill-O the Dildo's understudy, because 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 Jesse Watters): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlht9VxMR2s
Y'know... I hope they keep going. I hope they keep getting even more egregiously, jaw-droppingly, undeniably racist- because every time they mouth-shit a line like that, they drive more and more voters away from the GQP.
Ah ! And does trump sell tacos who can be eaten with your fingers without spilling the filing everywhere ?! No ! This culinary disaster and artery clogger is a French invention ! Oui Monsieur !
Most churches operate with virtually zero oversight of any kind on top of the usual trust environment commonly promoted by the members; when you get down to it, it's hard to think of a situation more conducive to financial shenanigans. It'd be like walking into a commercial enterprise with nobody minding the register and expecting people to pay on the honor system - all but asking to be abused.
I do remember one of the churches I went to with my parents having monthly business meetings, but I suspect that was unusual. I can say that those business meetings were horribly under attended for the size of the member body, if memory serves the church had about 350 regular attendees, but only about 30 or so showed up to the business meetings. I would guess that those meetings made some forms of fraud more difficult, but likely made some other forms easier; so far as I'm aware, nobody on that committee had a sort of formal training for accounting/bookkeeping. Oversight by those without skills hardly proves anything at the end of the day. In some ways, it's almost more surprising that more churches don't get into dire financial straits more quickly.
"It'd be like walking into a commercial enterprise with nobody minding the register and expecting people to pay on the honor system - all but asking to be abused."
Isn't self-checkout supposed to be the future of retail?
When I was a kid the Wednesday night service was also a 'business meeting'. And yes attendance was noticeably smaller than Sunday morning or night.
Apparently self checkout has led to an increase in theft. I very rarely do it as I only shot once a week and there simply isn't room on those bloody stupid machines to stack all my stuff. But I once watched in amazement as my sister keyed in chocolate peanuts when they were in fact chocolate coffee beans which were much more expensive – still she probably could have got away with that at the manned checkout as well.
Fortunately, with Ken Buck leaving his seat early- the same seat which Boebert intended to run for after she faceplanted out of her own- it is increasingly unlikely that she'll be haunting our halls of government much longer, as she won't be able to run in the special election, and the person who wins that will have the incumbent's advantage come November.
"It is because of the Christian religion that we have allowed other religions to come in and be known,” he added. “It’s because of us being very tolerant.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Kern said the foundation of the U.S. government, including the three branches of federal government and the structure of legislative districts, are based in the Old Testament of the Bible."
Show me the part of the babble where a president is democratically elected.
I sure do hope that they adjusted their numbers for inflation, because the numbers for 2050 seem a little bit on the small side to me. But then, that heavy gold brocade is not gonna embroider itself.
One best example of this: Dumb Idiot Ham extorting a lot of money from the Kentucky government to build his putrid ark/museum attractions, giving absolutely nothing back in return.
Taking govt. $$$ while simultaneously discriminating in his hiring policies. That's not supposed to happen. And yet these over-privileged bible thumpers continue to whine that they're persecuted in the US.
BTW, Ham wasn't originally going to receive a single cent of taxpayer money to build his monument to ignorance. Instead of turning the other cheek like his boss in the sky said to, he kicked and screamed until he got his way like the spoiled toddler he is.
There it is in boldface. Christianity is, among other things, a grift, a con game, a mechanism to separate the marks from their cash. I'm not certain you get any more blatant than this. The problem is that, important though this story may be, it's a safe bet it'll never see the evening news, much as it should.
And so long as faith is seen as a virtue, it never will.
One definition of faith is that it’s willful ignorance. I tend to agree with that.
Well, of course, it is exactly what it is.
I’m probably mangling this but Mark Twain defined faith (or maybe religion) as “believing what you know ain’t true”. Or sumthin like that.
Close enough.
It came from "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn":
"Having faith is believing in something you just know ain't true."
That book has repeatedly been on banned lists since March 1885 (it had only been out a month before being banned for the first time).
Thousands of years ago, priests discovered the power of religion over the uneducated masses.
"Hey, I promised to pray for this guy and he brought me food!"
It continues unabated today.
"Hey, my private jet isn't big enough, give me money"
"Yes, Father, SAVE ME!"
Hundreds of thousands. I'm not even sure we're the first primates to fall for this scam.

Hubbard started a science fiction religion.
Bill Maher once stood in Hyde Park and loudly preached what Scientologists swear by.
Even the loonies looked at him like he was off his rocker.
There is no idea so absurd there will not be people who believe it, and no leader so corrupt and incompetent there will not be people who follow.
Exhibit A: the gold plated Ass 45.
Fool's gold.
If only he were plated like the woman in Goldfinger.
Tautology ?
Read up on Scientology's DC-10 planes.
I’ve been telling this tale for many decades now. Religion is the biggest scam ever perpetuated on mankind unless you add unnecessary wars to the equation.
A great many wars were aided and abetted by religious leaders.
Yes, they were and we have photographic proof with pictures of the pope chumming around with Hitler and they’re all laughing like they own the world.
The Catholic Church never met a right-wing dictator they didn't love. The Vatican bank was created to launder money for Mussolini.
Yeah, it’s all about controlling the masses. Getting them to believe in fairytales as real is an alternate reality that could be called brainwashing (I would).
It is surprising how few know that fact.
If they're not xtians they don't want to know.

Got mit uns!
"Gott mit uns" was actually on the helmets of German soldiers during WW1.
If Nazis were not Christians, why didn't they eliminate that slogan? They merely moved it to their belt buckles and added a swastika.
Christian Nationalism in the original German
Depends of where you were. When it was part of Saint German Roman Empire it was a confederation of electorates, dukedoms and territories.
Starting 16th century, Electorate of Saxony was mostly lutheran, Bavaria stayed mostly catholic.
Thanks for the details to jog my memory 😉
Also it didn’t upset him that it got rid of a rival religion.
I'm aware. You don't want to ignore these facists. DeVos and that latest moron in NC are not people looking out for our public schools.
They want them destroyed.

I’m in awe of your awesome take.
The grift is so well understood that researchers can quantify the theft ahead of time. Why does this not surprise me?
Like in the movie Minority Report?
Televangelist’s using their private jets to illegally transport buckets of cash overseas!?! I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you! 😐
I'm shocked it's only buckets.
Big buckets

I've done a lot of gardening/landscape work. Neither I nor my coworkers have ever worn apron's/bibs.
I have one and forget to wear it 99% of the time
We don't know if he wears anything under his apron 😇
"We're all naked under our clothes." ;)
I'm not.
True.
I don’t know which I’m ogling more, the handsome dude or that fabulous bucket.
Oh, there's only one choice for me.

They were going to stick a fork in it, but it turned out to be silver plated, and they thought it might be better if they just sold it.
"the researchers say that Christians all over the world will give about $1.3 trillion to Christian causes"
So that's part of the answer. Doesn't include the take from other religions, so incomplete.
Christian leaders will continue to hide these financial crimes, just as they have hidden sexual crimes. There isn’t a pastor anywhere in this country who wants to see the offerings diminish or the clientele disappear.
They are far better at hiding financial crimes than sexual crimes. Remember how all those churches “mysteriously” went bankrupt JUST BEFORE they have pay settlements money to their sexual assault victims?

It could be worse. Imagine the amount of grift if they didn't have their shy daddy to watch over them.
Indeed it is a shy sky daddy. Anyone ever actually SEE that guy? 😁
I have a boss with who has a son that is an airplane pilot. Does that count?
He’s more the deadbeat dad type, creates a bunch of dependents and then runs off to make another bunch somewhere else.

"Our history is the Ten Commandments."
The 10 C violate the Constitution, the real law of the land.
"Our history is Judeo-Christian values."
Judeo-Christian is a term invented by Christians. Rabbis and Jewish scholars reject it.
"It is because of the Christian religion that we have allowed other religions to come in and be known. It is because of us being very tolerant."
Never studied the nearly 2000 year bloody history and current practices of your religion, have you Mr. Kern?
