U.S. tax law allows television preachers to get away with almost anything. We know this from personal experience.
Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption will not be able to accept donations from Church supporters from the states of Mississippi, Nevada, Pennsylvania, or South Carolina. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The UK has a series of laws around churches, it's called the "Public good" test. you have to prove that you do ACTUAL not for profit work. For example, there's no disputing the Salvation Army does charitable work, hence the tax exempt status. The Church of Scientology is taxed, because they operate like an MLM, and don't do anything "not for profit." If the IRS finally got their shit together and crack down on these crooks there'd be a whole rank of people in Club Fed. Could even be an Evangelists' Wing of a prison.

@@ravenandstar It's one of the reasons why they say Australians and Britons are "over taxed," when in reality our living costs are a lot lower. A tiny percentage of those taxes fund universal health care. Never do you hear of people in either country going bankrupt or losing their house because of a "medical debt." We have a fairer system of deductions, and neither is perfect, but much better off than the average American overall. Those GOP morons have people convinced that anything "socialist" is "on the slippery slope to communism." The quickest way to shut them up: "imagine for a moment that your mum has cancer, but you have to let her die because you can't afford the treatment. Now imagine that everyone contributes to a fund where everyone gets treated with no out of pocket bills. Your mum gets treated, and you don't have to pay ANY bills for it." That's the reality of universal health care, but these morons keep saying "I don't want to pay for someone else's hospital bill."

The Bible is an old myth that so many people have jumped on and used for their own means. Funny too, because even what Jesus was supposed to have said, "Leave your belongings and follow me," was TERRIBLE advice and would have been the worst thing the men he wanted to follow him, could have done. Their wives and kids would go starve and who cares? Back then women and children were belongings, chattel, like slaves, y'know, property. They didn't matter. So, it didn't matter if they died.

Duck Face okay, you said researches. The link you posted was a newspaper article about one "research" that wasn't even peer-reviewed. Also, considering that crucifixion kills by suffocating you by weighing your body down upon your lungs as you hang by your outstretched arms, it doesn't really matter whether your hands are tied to the cross or nailed to it. The Romans practiced crucifixion by nailing and/or tying. Inasmuch as tying didn't cause puncture wounds that might marginally contribute to blood loss and shock and got infected (thus hastening death), getting tied to the cross is actually worse.

***** You kinda missed the point. Faith (Christian faith) is a loving, reconciled relationship with the source of life itself. It's liberating. Yes, I felt a little silly at first, like I had a made-up friend. But most born-again Christians I've talked to have that similar experience. I've heard that people from certain other religions also report a similar born-again experience. Stupid arguments about Creation vs. Evolution don't matter to this kind of faith. And personally I think Richard Dawkins is a genius.
@fotc1lova
@fotc1lova 8 лет назад
+Irving Ceron Faith is not synonymous with trust. Trust is earned and/or granted tentatively based on an accumulation of past experiences and an understanding of how things work. Faith, by definition, is believing in something without evidence.... which is a problem, because that opens the door to believing anything at all, which includes thinking that you're doing something good when it fact it is very harmful.
@gentlemanredefined
@gentlemanredefined 8 лет назад
+Irving Ceron Faith and trust are indeed close and it's easy to get them confused just like with other synonymous terms in our language. But the difference between the two (in religious terms) does stem from the amount of evidence one has to believe. If it is reasonable to believe that something may or may not be true then you would say you trust that it is true. But if you have no substantial reason to believe then it is referred to as faith. Most pastors/ministers/religious leaders will tell you that (blind) faith is a qualification for belief in that religion. From the Stanford Encyclopedia, concerning the epistemology of faith you get this more firm, and widely held position of faith: "faith goes beyond what is ordinarily reasonable, in the sense that it involves accepting what cannot be established as true through the proper exercise of our naturally endowed human cognitive facilities". Basically faith is little more than a "hunch" or a "feeling" that something is true and does not rely on actual evidence. Synonyms are closely related but the words don't mean the exact same things. They are just similar. Faith and trust are just quite similar and are often used to help describe one another. Like I did above. Just a side note: don't appeal to dictionary terms too much because dictionaries don't reason. They are short, concise, and lack meaningful depth in their descriptions which don't usually provide real, meaningful insight or understanding to a word. For this and other reasons "appeal to definition"/" appeal to the dictionary" is a logical fallacy.

Reading the closure statement on the website was also hilarious. "We have still, miraculously, not broken any laws by promising you untold riches in return for sending us money. We’re also not closing down because you all kept sending us actual seeds, even though we explicitly told you not to. We’re closing because multiple people sent us sperm through the mail. And when someone sends you jizz through the mail, it’s time to stop whatever you’re doing."

Well this story hits home, my dad started following an evangelist and instead of receiving treatment for his prostate cancer he went to one of this guy's services and had him place his "healing hands" on him for a cure. With medical treatment he had a 90% chance of living but you can guess how far prayer got him, it got him buried. I'm still furious about it 7 years later.

My mom was the same. She spent her entire life watching these guys, sending them hard earned money and confessing and 'claiming' money, cars, and mansions - that never came. She died penniless, senile and alone at a shabby seniors home. People get addicted to these schizophrenic preachers the same way kids get addicted to candy. Because the false promises of power and wealth taste sweet, and give a rush. But in the end the people who consume it are sick with a pseudo-biblical kind of mental illness and superstition. And the only thing I could ever do is let her go, and learn the hard way. But you're not alone. It helps so much to remember that you're only accountable for yourself.

Kenneth Copeland looks like he went to the funeral of someone he fleeced for many thousands of dollars, thinking it would make a nice photo op, but while no one was looking , took the skin from the corpse and sewed it over his own face. I honestly don't mind that Gloria Copeland lives in a six million dollar home and has a private jet. I consider those things fair payment for her having to sleep with him on occasion.
