I’m not saying I know them all - but I do know a lot, personally and for every one preacher rollin’ around in his bentley, there are 1000 working their ass off for their corolla. And to become a “priest” you have to go to school. To be a Christian is to follow the bible’s rules and live by jesus’ example. True on the asian part, but it’s not like you can’t find anything else to compare to in this situation. our government, for example. ---

I still think it is funny how ignorant some people really are. First off, there are many differant kinds of christians. Secondly, look at all the good things that many churches do for their communities (food drives, clothing the poor, helping the homeless, helping the elderly) and yet many of you poeple can not see this and only think with your close minded brains. I especialy laugh at people like Joestypes, who constantly bash others for their beliefs, just because they don’t agree with his own. For a person who bitches about tolerance and acceptance, you are quite the hypocrite. ---

So it is just public relations and has nothing to do with them trying to help their fellow man? wow…this is why I laugh at liberals. No matter what somebody does, no matter how much good they do, you still find a way to make them look bad for it. ---

So, you think if we took pictures, and made a little pamphlet and printed them off and handed em to each of the people in the church on one sunday as they entered… there might be some good footage to record and post up online? 🙂 Anyone else with me? ---

Ok example of how some churches are good. A few years ago my father had 3 simultanious strokes. he couldnt work, and we were so poor we were about to,lose our house. the church my parents belong to helped raise money to aid us in our time of need. they even cooked us dinner, and drove my mother to the hospital every day to see my dad. and you guys are going to tell me that these people are all a bunch of money grubbers? Many churches, especially the smaller ones, are like a family that not only look out for eachother, but help people in their community that are going through rough times. I just can’t understand how anybody can see this as a bad thing. ---
