Religion has ALWAYS been a business of raping and selling women and their children and the war business of brainwashing boys into deadly violence against neighboring tribes

I think we are at the point, or very close to it, where if organized religion wants this prominent of a seat at the civic table that they will need to pay the piper for the privilege. Freedom ain't free. For the religiously deluded, the price tag should not be avoidable.

I'm thinking that Copeland guy gets a lot of......women.

Why do people capitalize a gibberish sound referring to an unknown invisible nothing ?

What is a gawd ?

Religion has always been a business ever since the first shaman invented the first religion monopolizing the story of sex babies birth death and violent raiding parties upon neighboring tribes....raping pillaging and capturing slaves inventing rituals like circumcision torturing boys and owning daughters to trade in wedding gift exchanges where the males keep all the most valued items

Well there's today's bad news

Jebus

prosperity churches are terrible.

The churches need taxes!

Always was a business, always will be, should always be treated as such.

I hope someday churches will only be afforded tax exemptions for truly charitable activities. The generic term for this would be to end "member-benefit tax exemptions". It applies not just to churches, but to lodges and certain other organizations.
