No need for the likes of THIS guy!

More on the Mac Daddy of the Minnesota Megachurches here.

My wife’s extended family (on one side) is divided into two camps: poor conservative christians who believe in Mac Hammond, and poor conservative christians who think the other group is a bunch of stupid, pretentious assholes who believe in false preachers.

See, if we took away churches’ non-profit status, we could just tax this guy into submission.

$4 billion was the latest estimate I know of on how much revenue would come in through property taxing churches.

Don’t worry. These guys nearly always come crashing down. It’s the Gospel’s cruel joke on them.

Countdown to gay sex/meth scandal … 3 … 2 …

His church’s creed, often called the “prosperity Gospel,” is that following God’s word will lead not only to spiritual salvation but also earthly wealth.

Has this man ever even read the new testament? I’m areligious and know more about it than he seems to.

I’m guessing he’s read more New Testament than I have. If P.T. Barnum were born 150 years later I’m absolutely convinced he would have been a Televangelist.

^ There’s a better chance he’s read more Old Testament. Conservative Christians seem to like that more than the New Testament; they get most of their idology out of the Old Testament than anything else. Plus the New Testament has this guy named Jesus that preached understanding and other things that would contradict a lot of conservative christians beliefs.

Hammond is nothing more than a piece of shit fake Christian that appeals only to right wing hoodlums, pathetic snobs, disgruntle employees of the former New Left movement, elitist fat cats, and Middle Eastern War Profiteers.

hey average minnesotans! u dum! u dum!

Someone needs to go there and hold a sign reading

Luke 18:22

Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

u dum! u dum!

Heh.

I think “God doesn’t want me to eat cold pancakes” is the best line ever.

I too find myself wondering how to square the gospel of greed with the Sermon on the Mount. I’m sure this cult leader can convince his paying dupes that it squares… but after 15 years of studying Jesus and his ministry, I can’t figure out how these folks don’t hemorrage out their ears trying to make this nonsense fit into their heads.

Maybe they’re like the dog in the Far-Side cartoon who only hears his name; except they hear: Blah, blah. blah be a winner. Blah, blah-blah more money blah blah….
