    LET US PREY ON IDIOTS

    LAKE FOREST, Calif. -- Evangelical pastor Rick Warren appealed to parishioners at his Orange County megachurch Wednesday to help fill a $900,000 deficit by the first of the year.

    Warren made the appeal in a letter posted on the Saddleback Church Web site. It begins "Dear Saddleback Family, THIS IS AN URGENT LETTER."

    "With 10 percent of our church family out of work due to the recession, our expenses in caring for our community in 2009 rose dramatically while our income stagnated," the letter reads.

    Still, Warren said the church managed to stay within its budget, but "the bottom dropped out" when Christmas donations dropped. "On the last weekend of 2009, our total offerings were less than half of what we normally receive - leaving us $900,000 in the red for the year," the letter reads.

    "It's basically having to do more with less," church spokesman A. Larry Ross said. "The seasonal Christmas offering was down significantly and, commensurately, the need for services the church is expected to provide is up," Ross said. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/31/rick-warrens-saddleback-c_n_408115.html

     

    How to make money.


    Things are bad all over. Rick Warren, Jerry Falwell (I am sure somebody is handling his estate), Pat Robertson, and the Vatican need your help.

    I mean Jesus appears short on funds this year. A lot of my friends are unemployed or certainly worried about keeping their jobs. Some have lost their homes or are afraid of losing their homes.

    But without some good propaganda against major sins like over taxing off shore corporations, without some good lecturing on the evils of homosexuality, without reminding us how porno will disrupt all reason we are lost as a people. http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2005/09/pat-robertson-rip-off-artist-is-helped.html

    And those dirty Muslims will take over the world after erasing their book on Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    Death to all Muslims.

    No more Death to the Jews. We need them for the Apocalypse. Then God will kill them for us.

    Kind of soft on Buddhists though. Not that they like Chinese Communists. 

    But if you do not open your heart and accept Jesus Christ as your only Savior, well....I hope the worst for you and your kith and kin.

    So dig deep down into those atheist jeans of yours and contribute to yet another mega church.
