Every man is the artisan of his own fortune.

If god is truly omnipotent, then what does he need money for?
π: 0 β©: 2
It's the facility of worship.
The government doesn't doesn't fund churches (at least, not my church) so they're like nonprofits.
People donate if they want it to keep going. It's like a soup kitchen but with religion. ^^
The money is not FOR God, but it's for the workers that follow Him. Such as the priest and the people who run activites to keep the church running.

But if he's all powerful why doesn't he just use his omnipotence to keep his churches running?Β The bible claims he preformed many miracles, I suspect creating "holy ground" for churches to keep them divinely running wouldn't be too much to ask.
Furthermore why was he so desperate for money that he started demanding it in only the 3rd book of his 66 book series?
Further furthermore, why does it go to the holy men (priests, etc) rather than to the church itself?
Lastly, and slightly off topic, why is god such a communist that he demands everyone no matter how poor or how rich pay the same amount, and if you can't afford to pay than you're SOL?Β I thought he was all loving...

At least the homeless have a legitimate reason to ask for money. I mean, the guys on the right are wearing fucking suits for fuck's sake!

The guy on the left seems more entertaining to talk to anyways. I'd buy him a sandwich. Subway too. Let him pick whatever he wants

I'd buy the guy on the right a muzzle.

You know, Karl Marx(He wrote the communist manifesto) said "Religion is the opium of the people." namely christianity. He said their were only two sides in life the opressed, proletarians and the oppressors, the bourgeoisie and upper class. Now, your picture goes against this entirely, and i think you're looking at this wrong. I give you an example. In the bodybuilding world Β theirs alot of sources you can go to to help you get stronger and have a better body. Now the person on the left would be the fat or skinny guy starting out on his bodybuilding journey, and the person on the right would be mike chang, the guy you see on sixpackshortcuts, super rich, but a total trap and everything he says is absolutely wrong. He acts like a regular person, but he only puts out videos for you to buy his bullcrap supplements and products. You ignore the guy in the middle, who would be someone like elliot hulse or ct fletcher. The guy who wants the well-being of others and actually wants to help people get in shape. He's not rich nor is he extremely poor, but he practices what he preaches, and what he preaches is true. For the guy on the right i'm guessing you're refering to this guy i see on ads who supposedly sells healing water and if you drink it you get a check in the mail for thousands of dollars or if you rub it on your back it will heal you, but why are you using him to represent the church?

In the south, it's not begging if you thump a bible to your chest and ask for money. -_-

And the lord came to me and said "Money is the root off all evil." Β I know you have evil in your life, evil that you work hard for, send me your evil so I can properly dispose of it... Β So, let us pray "Thank you lord for gullible people and this new car and my rapidly growing bank account in the Bahamas."
π: 0 β©: 3
Ah, my son, you laugh now. Β Bt who will be laughing when the evil that others send me allows me to transcend this earthly realm and dance among the angels in my Learjet? Β It certainly shall not be me as the Lord commands me to be humble as I open additional bank accounts in Switzerland to properly store this evil. Β Even the bank vaults and financial institutions can only take so much evil so I must spread it out. Β I have been so blessed that my wallet overfloweth and my accounts will not run dry.
Now, sing with me Brother: Β "Bank in the Cay-a-mens! Bank in the Cay-a-mens! Β Hall-le-luia!"

"I'm the Lord, send me money."-God

It should be: "I'm the Lord, thy God, you shall have no other places to give thy money to." -God π: 0 β©: 1
Lol I've heard a radio commercial for some secret code in the bible that would make you a lot richer with money XDΒ
These Christians are scam artists no matter how you look at them lol

I like that, "...send me your evil so I can properly dispose of it...". Might have new cartoon inspiration.Β Β

Go ahead, use it all you want. Β I thought that up for my "Televangelist Radio Show" idea to get rich quick. Β But, I decided that being able to look in the mirror and not see a lying, deceitful, scumbag was more important than wealth. Β Damn secular humanist ethics always ruining the fun...
π: 0 β©: 2
I was talking to a friend about exactly that thing.. My reasoning was, atheist to believer.. good for a book..a Β preaching tour.. I know the bible and heard enough appologetics to be able to spew hate speech.. I mean "Love".. But the Mirror became my issue as well I would need to be able to look at my self at least occasionly..

I'm sorry, who were the freeloaders expecting everything to just be handed to them again?

Televangelists are the REAL moochers looking for a handout!

ahhh, this is so awesome

this is true on so many levels
Religion: You can not beg for money!Β
People: But were poor,Hungary,and selterless
Christianity: ITS BAD BECAUSE A BOOK SAID ITS BAD!
π: 0 β©: 3
.....and when has Christianity said/done that?Β Many of the saints subsisted almost solely on begging, as well as many religious orders like the Dominicans.Β Β No, this is about as "true" as how that famous cyclists Lance Armstrong claiming that he never 'doped'.

To be fair, there isΒ leftwing religious branches and movement and peoples. Like Liberation theology.
But the person have a strong point.
