The real problem is that people follow the preachers and do nothing on their own. Be a Follower of JESUS CHRIST. We are to study to show ourselves approved and work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Be a good steward with GOD'S money. If we would just do these things and love one another like HE loves us these charlatans couldn't lead so many astray.

Organized religion is the second biggest Ponzi scam in the USA.

Another fine example of a good upstanding Christian fruit cake. Christian people are so stupid. They just keep on keeping on keeping on even though most of their leaders are crooks.

Thank God he is going to Federal Prison and not ADC. The parole board would have let him out this July since he is a preacher.

It is very unfortunate, but a great number of todays churches are started by people just looking for a tax dodge, and they figure that is a good way to beat the system. Churches should pay taxes the same as any other business. They are, after all just another business.

This is just another trick of the devil to make people think that all pastors are fake. Jesus is coming back sooner than we think and I pray that the nuke warm and God Haters are on His team. If you think that Hell is not real, where do you think Don Cornelius is for taking his own life. His life was not his to take, no matter how hard things got. What makes him more than Jesus, who was Crucified for all the world to see, for our sins? We are not worthy of this. Even if Don could come back and tell people not to come his way, a lot of them would not listen. When Jesus cracks that sky, this will make you a believer and it will be to late.
