Once, an acquaintance talked me into going to his church — greatest in the world, he claimed. It turned out to be some sort of New Age variety, where EVERYTHING in the Bible was metaphorical, symbolic, i.e. Noah’s flood symbolized some mental, spiritual conflict Noah was going through; the prodigal son in the pigsty meant he had negative emotions (she mentioned those two). Everything was like that, except, at the end of the sermon, or whatever it was, the lady (the preacher) asked for tithes and donations. Guess what, strangely, tithe, to her, meant “tenth of your income”. Suddenly, all the symbolism and metaphors disappeared and she became hardshell and literal.
I once had a fabulous argument with a Catholic priest who told me the same thing, nothign in the Bible happened, EVERYTHING in the old testament was really just a parable he said. Argument ended with him yelling that I was a demon spawn and making me sit in the hall the rest of the day...Good times :)
She wanted a TENTH of your incomes.?!? Lol. She must have taken lessons from ole, now-dead Dr. EEEEUUUUUGENE Scott. "Send me your filthy lucre!!!"
She is a charlatan, phony, deceiver, swindler, con-man, con-artist, fake, impostor, mountebank, fraud, imposter, phony, malicious trickster and a fake,
