"...a woman wrote in telling Robertson that her family is struggling financially and can't pay their mortgage or bills and wondering why God was won't answer her prayers, to which Robertson responded that she was obviously just not managing her money properly and told her that she must continue to tithe in order to receive God's blessing..." http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/robertson-tells-woman-who-cant-pay-mortgage-she-must-keep-tithing-order-receive-gods-blessin

"...You just need some financial help but don't rob God at the same time..."

1. God doesn't need money

If he did, he's just print his own.

Robertson and his grifter wannabe preachers are the ones who want her money. They don't need it. They just want it.

2. Heh, there's money to be made investing in African dictators

4. "...what does God need with a starship?"

6. She's in good company

Apparently, God can't handle money either: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeSSwKffj9o

7. God is bought just like politicians???

We know Mr. Bobertson, churches would cease to exists if noney wasn't involved.

8. We need to start taxing churches in this country.

They are nothing more than giant corporations selling magical sunshine from the great old man in the sky. Fuck, people are stupid...

9. And so they are - as I was posting this I was asking myself how I felt about this woman caller

can't say I have much sympathy for her, really. Can it be that hard to figure out? Brainwashed comes to mind.

10. I'm convinced that these "preachers" are atheists.

What better snake oil is there than religion?
If it doesn't work, blame the victim.

These grifters can't possibly believe that there
is an afterlife and we will have to atone for our sins.

I guess I can't blame them because what they do sure
beats working for a living and if they don't shear the
sheep, someone else will, so it might as well be them.

They proudly display their cars, aircraft, horse ranches,
clothes, and let's not forget, their wigs and makeup.

11. WTF!

What does atheism have to do with these asshats. They are religious and they get their beliefs from there holy book. You may not agree with them but don't use atheism as their excuse, it's there stupid religion!
