Just like everything else,
God
is a business.
Vast amounts of money are
spent, paid,
and thrown away
in the name of
God.
There are some speakers of
God
charging hundreds of dollars
for a ticket to come see their show.
And don't be mistaken, it is a show-
a fine performance dedicated to
the act of swindling money
from desperate people.
They'll say that the money goes to charity
or to the church,
but it casually goes toward
their living expenses
with a few coins tossed to the needy
to make it look good.
Don't be mistaken,
God
is a business - BIG BUSINESS -
and these soothsayers make plenty
from a few lectures
on how you should lead your life.
Now this isn't to say that
God
is a bad idea,
but I'm pretty sure
that if there is a
God,
He's probably not struggling
to pay His rent
or
desperately trying to make His car payment.
This is to say that there are
Greasy,
Swindling,
No Good
Bastards out there
making money on Faith.
They look pretty,
wear nice suits,
have the latest hairstyles,
and drive luxury cars
all on your bill.
They have the brightest smiles
because they can afford
a fantastic dental plan.
In a way,
they're a lot like Politicians,
but rather than peddling Freedom
for tax dollars,
they're trying to sell you
on the idea that you can somehow buy
Salvation.
