I guess the real "BIG GUY" is worried about not getting his 10%

Maybe the church could auction some of its art collection or property to help the poor. I guess the Vatican fails the “follow Jesus” test

Mark 10:21-22 - Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. (22) And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

… although Jesus said that, I guess he really didn’t mean it. Just Jesus bein’ all crazy
'bout that mony thang …

Now Pope’s envoy … like the rich young ruler you may now go away.

A reminder to the Socialist Catholic (and most other flavors of Christianity as well) Church

… “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
― Margaret Thatcher

"But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money!”
― George Carlin

I wonder when this facade of control by ‘organized religion’ will reach its best before date. Soon after the great culling is completed? Or later, because so many thrive on the promise of false hope they seek in today’s ‘religions’. Atheism included. I can’t imagine our genetic cousins being too happy with what we’ve done to the place, unless we’re a penal colony. Hmmm

I like SAMUEL HOFMAN’s description of Earth…that it is a “Factory Planet”!! We were brought into existence to be slaves, right?! :sweat_smile:

Beginning to look like? Don’t make me spit out my coffee laughing. We have been slaves since the BC era when they came up with the tax system. Throughout the last 400 years, they have embellished the concept until today. The whole system has to change and I believe it will for the better. Again… Optimist. It simply can’t continue on this long road to hell.

Good news (I think you might even be saying). You need to watch who is “fiddle-ing” to stay alive in this inquest…

If not, then watch who is being taken to the cleaners…and remain positive in your thoughts.

Vespasian, Marcus … Where are you? …

Reminds me of Rowdy Roddy Piper’s line:

May you be in Heaven 30 minutes before the devil knows you’re dead…

Yeah, I know he didn’t come up with it…but he did the part well.

Doesn’t the state of Utah still use firing squads? There’s lots of sports stadiums around the globe. Firing squads may be a too quick for some though. How about a stadium containing a huge maze with firing squad individuals positioned at each dead end that the convicted would try and navigate? There wouldn’t be an actual exit though…shhhhh on that fact. :wink:
