What? A man in a dress wearing a fancy tea cosy as a hat, sitting on a golden throne, telling everyone how if they really love his imaginary friend they get to go to "heaven" for ever and ever and ever? Whats childish about that? I have already told you that I have no interest in further attempts to penetrate your wall of hatred and ignorance. Further trolling doesn't make you look any better. And you are yet to make a point of any substance, so taking the piss seems legitimate at this point.

I love the whole notion of the only good church is a broke church. Jesus said: "If you want to be perfect, go and sell what you own and give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me." The churches seem to gloss over that bit, and live in gold palaces and opulence. He wasn't talking to the church was he? In fact, Jesus kept money on hand to help others and possibly to pay expenses.
In fact Part II, the expectation was the congregation would always help its followers when in need which most large religions do routinely...I would say far more the godless hordes out there.
The reality is simple and hard to dispute...If religions gave up all their money and did away with the charity provided, the world would suck even more. I think theophobiacs have no clue to what extent the planet benefits from the wealth of religious organizations overall.
