Why not? They pay kids for going to school in some places. I mean think about it. It is all about materialism right?

If your church has an inspired message and a Pastor able to convey that message to the congregation, such cheesy promotions would not be necessary.

I hope it can help to reach those who are in need of the Easter message the most. I’ve never seen an outreach like this before. A lot of time and money seems to have gone into it. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

The megachurches leave me cold. It seems more like “feel good” religion rather than Christianity. But, I'm sure the pastors live well.

Good God...that's wrong! Sounds more like “Reverend Ike” than an actual Christian church.

Where in the New Testament did Jesus give away free donkeys and plows to selected lucky followers??

I'm a non-believer who has read both testaments, several works of Christian apologetics, and has a great deal of respect for Christianity.

May I ask the believers on this thread....

Wasn't Christ's message more along the lines of "come to Me and you will find that your "need" for a new car or a big screen will pass from you??"

Most who attend won’t receive “salvation” but they will receive a hefty invoice from the IRS!

Bwahahahaha

This is disgusting....I think of the following verse

Then they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves;

Mark 11:15

Why not actually nail some church member to a cross?

That should bring in droves of unchurched people -- and is at least in keeping with the events preceding the resurrection of Jesus.

I go to church not just one Easter per decade but (almost) every Sunday. I’ve never won any loot that I can show off, but I would say that I did even better. People waiting to see if they got the car wouldn’t understand.

They could have fed and clothed a lot of the hungy and naked with that $2 Million plus.

I thought Jesus threw the moneychangers OUT of the temple?
