      If you think I'm gonna click on a link from "chick.com" with Mrs Bob sitting behind me, you're very much mistaken.

        That's a good example of the whole problem. Some of the ideas and concepts do sort of make some kind of sense, then at the end it turns into religious bulltulip. "Because it says so in the Bible" isn't at won't ever be a convincing argument about anything, and that's basically all Christianity has.

          A good tract but exaggerates somewhat, not everyone is on the edge of despair.

            Written to appeal to those in despair so they will turn to the church and give them cash.

            Next!

            Do you give to your church Chico? 5% of salary? 10%? More?

            It is quite common for the new age of christians to give substantial amounts to the church and this "tract" reads like a pretty poor bit of marketing cack.

            The church is big business and needs supporting. Lots of people get rich through religion here and in the US and it is gullible fools like Chico who support it.

            So come on Chico - how much do you give and if not monetarily then in time?

              Or even worse... how much does it get anytime he persuades another gullible fool into those scams?
              I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                Sadly even scientology cult is legal in this country - though in all fairness I quiet like Arch Bishop of Cantenbury because he is smart rather than dumb like Chico - if Christianity was more like Buddism - Philosophy, with all obvious things like dont kill, dont steal (though adultary should be definately dropped from sins and new one added - inability to satisfy your partner's sexual drive), then I would be okay with it, sadly things ain't that easy especially with Islam aggressively expanding and you can't address just Islam without addressing other religions - they are all big scams and you can either resolve all of them or none.

                Pity Greek Gods did not carry on - they were much more human and did not demand so much, heck, even sacrifice was bones rather than meet, thanks to Prometeus.

                  Even my local C of E church is getting into this, implying that all good Christians must give 10% of their income to the church fund or they'll all burn in Hell and the place will have to be closed down. Must have got it off the Internet.

                  It's complete B'Locks. When you look at the Church accounts, you see that about 90% of the income goes to the Diocese with the other 10% paying for the church upkeep. The local church itself is their income stream so they're not going to shut it down anytime soon and lose all those paying customers.

                    Adultery is a good thing you say? Ive seen more peoples lifes ruined because of this and familys torn apart.
