I admire the genius that is televangelist Benny Hinn

His ministry collects more than $200 million a year, and he’s admitted to his salary being over half a million. Hinn owns a private jet, lives in a $10 million house near the Pacific Ocean, stays in hotel rooms that cost thousands each night, and owns luxury vehicles. The money that he pries from Jesus suckers is astonishing. Even though christians are probably the dumbest motherfuckers in all creation, his hustle is impressively strong.

Benny Hinn is true gangsta.

Neo-nazis have little to no impact on anyone outside their prison gangs, it's the run of the mill Trump voter you gotta worry about

Apparently in some form of the Catholic religion, you can be an absolute shithead for your entire life, sinning so hard that they dedicate an entire church worth of nuns to just cry about you all day... and then when you're about to die you can give a bunch of money and you still go to heaven.

That's a pretty sweet deal IMHO.

ACtually sinning makes you feel bad, so its not

Question about Sikhism for the experts here:

I know some Sikhs wear kirpans that are nonfunctional as weapons, like with a blade that's only a couple blunt inches, or that has been glued into the sheath, so it's purely a religious symbol.

my question is, doesn't that defeat the whole point of the kirpan? I thought the idea was that the weapon really should be used if necessary, that the Sikh was always prepared to directly and personally intervene to prevent serious injustice.

Perhaps the pilots could be renamed Commanders and (in addition to providing piloting skills) could grant efficiency bonuses to the skills of the scientist, or an effective extra to those classes during a mission?

I admire the jews at how tenaciously they grasp with their claws at their own and other peoples' monies for the sake of having more money

I know this is a trollpost, but for the record Judaism itself doesn't actually involve any financial poo poo

It just doesn't expressly discourage dealing with money like Christianity does (mostly since money barely existed in Old Testament times), and in medieval Europe that left a pretty clear niche for Jews who were legally excluded from a lot of other possible careers and whose culture encouraged sitting around studying a lot

the central message at the heart of basically every jewish holiday is "these people tried to make Jews stop being Jewish and it didn't work because gently caress them"

In other words it's not for lack of trying on the part of local authority figures through the years but resistance to assimilation became kind of a self-sustaining idea

To a certain point anyway; I dunno if you've noticed but 95% of American Jews are just basic American-style white people except for the not liking Christmas part and as I understand it it was p much the same in modern Europe until the whole Holocaust thing

judaism is actually the origin of the early christian rules against usury. usury against other jews was prohibited but usury agaianst the goyim was considered ok
