The Professional Christian wants your money.

Even local churches worship money and have very little concern about where it comes from .

A crusty old man walks into a local Baptist church and says to the secretary, "I would like to join this damn church." The astonished woman replies, "I beg your pardon, sir. I must have misunderstood you... What did you say?" "Listen up, damn it. I said I want to join this damn church!"

"I'm very sorry sir, but that kind of language is not tolerated in this church."

The secretary leaves her desk and goes into the pastor's study to inform him of her situation. The pastor agrees that the secretary does not have to listen to that foul language. They both return to her office, and the pastor asks the old geezer, "Sir, what seems to be the problem here?" "There is no damn problem," the man says. "I just won $200 million bucks in the damn lottery, and I want to join this damn church to get rid of some of this damn money. " "I see," said the pastor. "And is this bitch giving you a hard time?"

" 24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?” 25 “Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?” 26 “From others,” Peter answered. “Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him."

Nothing like a vulgar joke to start a thread off on the religion forum. Where are the Mods?

“Even local churches worship money”

We should expect at least a basic quality of writing from blogs. They should not resemble a comment. This “blog post” reads like a comment, where the writer is halfway through his own biases & expects us to agree & catch up with his ill-considered thought processes.

“No thanks.”

[Larry Lucido]

So do professional bloggers, apparently.

Is there a point to posting a bad parody of a lame sermon illustration?

Pet peeve of mine. One should not profit from the Gospel. Paul never asked for any more than food and shelter as I recall.

God will equip those whom he sends to do his work, they don’t need to charge (beyond necessity) or plead.

[Cicero]

Someone should put a pancake on that pastor’s head.

Wow, a blog pimp with a filthy mouth.

I should be shocked.

Turn around. Now look down. That’s the line. You just crossed it.

sense of humor everyone, don’t take life too seriously, you’ll never get out of it alive anyway

[HereInTheHeartland]

Really kind of a degrading thing to post about Christians.

[stormer]

Doesn’t look like the religion forum to me. I think it’s pretty damned funny, and pretty damned accurate.

[jennings2004]

Reminded me of the look on a cleric’s face when a good friend brought him a huge check to pay for installation in his church of an Angel Gabriel icon made from imported Italian glass in memory of his deceased wife. Like the cat that had just eaten the canary!

[mom4melody]

I think it’s funny...reminds me of a “pastor” I know...

[Twinkie]

Joel Osteen told one sort of like this: A man calls the church and says, “I want to talk to the Head Hog there!” The receptionist told him not to be talking about the pastor like that. The man then said, “I have a ten thousand dollar check that I want to give to the Head Hog there!” - The receptionist said, “Just a moment, I think I see Porky walking in the door right now!”

That joke is from one of the greatest con men in Christianity,in my opinion.

My error. I’ll go back to kicking my own dog.
