PERSONS OF FAITH 

They tell you never talk about Religion, Sex and Politics.  But many do, every day  and here are some of the real answers gleaned from the real world.  And it's a world of no fear, for the truth shall prevail.

For those who are squeamish, afraid of the bogeyman, hell, fire, brimstone, and other man made fear derivatives, this might not be the place for you.  

I call it Bablically declined. Perhaps they convinced your mind that purgatory is real and you suffer from guilt, maybe you haven't been on your knees enough. 

If so at least get a plastic bag to place over your head so when you bury your head in the sand you won't clog your nose.  Just remember he who buries his head in the sand places another portion of anatomy in it's former location. 

Be aware of "Bablical scholars". That is one who can talk the talk but doesn't live his life that way, he just babbles and plays the righteous game usually wearing some expensive cloak like this cute 500 dollar number featured here. Hmm, this must be from the Benny Hinn fall collection and is available in seven seasonal and influential colors. Our motto is "If you look Godly enough people will fear you and give you money".

JUST SO YOU KNOW: 
Do not get the impression I am against any, belief, religion, faith, denomination, sect or following.  I am not an atheist nor an agnostic.  I do believe my way and celebrate others who have found their path. However I go after those who use religion as a tool for deceitful personal gain like some of the 'prosperity preachers' or force people to believe with threats of punishment or terror like the Taliban. And if it involves child abuse, pedophilia or wanton acts on youth, I still have my heavy Louisville Slugger Ted Williams Special on call. When you force your belief on another, mentally or physically, you are fair game and I am the hunter.  

This action contains a collection of some of the most influential crooks aka "Persons of Faith" using Religion today to scam people. They are going after the "flockers". Weakness is the key, those who are in despair, trouble, financially needy, physical weakness, health issues, all looking for the magic button.

These are people who are desperate, run or turn to just about anything that suits their cause, solves their pain, guilt or anguish, or conveniently offers an excuse, that it's not their fault. If this was true in life and that easy, we would need a bullet train from the earth to Heaven.  And Satan would be working overtime stamping passports. These are people in need who need help, not a scam.

One segment of this group of "flockers", are those who channel God into electronics. This is part one of Persons of Faith. The TV Preachers or what I like to call "Profitable Prophets".  In other parts of the story we after the politicians who use Religion. Both use and abuse your money, both have the same calling. Send them money and "you will get called" next time they think you are ripe and they are having their next telethon, revival or re-collection.

If you are dumb enough to send them your money, your check, money order, or credit card will be  "heavenly endorsed" by this select "group of profits" the TV Preachers. You are trusting that the money you contribute will feed the poor and needy, and the good LORD will remember you for this deed. Right. You would be doing more if you gave it to the "tooth fairy" and she used it for fluoride. Likely it will be used for gas money for his 23 million dollar Cessna Citation. Why walk on water when you can fly over it in style and not ruin your 300 dollar shoes.

BIG BUDGET
Washington isn't the only place you find "chump change". These "ministries of mystery" collectively have raised hundreds of millions of dollars each year even though scandal, indiscretions, coverups, exposure and diligent research and reporting by some of the best have surfaced the abuse.  Are people that weak and vulnerable.  A quarter to half a billion a year says so. 

To learn more search in Wikipedia -
"List of Christian Evangelist Scandals", there are twenty eight listed. Seven  still under investigation and a whole lot more that will shock you.  Your donations for the hungry and starving are certainly put to good use and must be very encouraging for the poor to know their food could possibly be delivered in a Rolls Royce or Challenger Jet.  Please understand I do not have the room nor the gumption to possibly gather all of it here. There are blogs and websites that expose all these crooks and false prophets some ten times the size and volume of the room and time I can afford on my entire blog. I will however name names. Starting below.
