Reminds me of all those TV Evangelists, you know, the opportunistic con men, preying on the minds of religiously inflamed fuckwits, stealing their money and promising eternal salvation. Anyone watching would be absolutely convinced that god was an American.

His name is on the money! And we all know that’s where real truth is found. But damned few of us have the balls to say it out loud.

For the love of money is the root of all … economic growth!
H M Bascom replied
You know, I haven’t heard of any churches going belly up in this economic crisis, have you?
Uncle Artmonger
My god Helen!!!
Do you realize that this image is controversial, thought provoking and challenging?!!
I just can’t believe that you would dare put up anything that would shed a poor light on modern day christians.
H M Bascom replied
So what are you saying there Artmonger? I should have put flowers and kitties in the photo instead of the cold hard truth of the CA$H cow called christianity? Darn, I sure hope I don’t offend anyone. Bah!
ROFLOL
Uncle Artmonger

If a church went belly up, the congregation DID NOT PRAY hard enough or maybe the PREYing area was not wide enough.

Keep the money flowing, christian soldiers- bullets don’t buy themselves.

If there were no mirrors, we would all be beautiful,
If there was no money, we would all be rich…
If there were no religion we would all be FREE

Great shot Helen,
I always wonder why the churches are not taxed for at least the police protections they receive and for the upkeep of our roads and highways.
And I am always astounded by the continuing art collection of the Vatican in Italy.
P.S. The Vatican has the largest collection of Pornographic Art in the World.

P.S. The Vatican has the largest collection of Pornographic Art in the World.
And the catholic church has a fair sized collection of paedophile priests too…......

Not all Christians are a part of this broad spectrum…
H M Bascom replied
Of course no one is suggesting that ALL Christians fit into this category.

I’m glad to hear that…seriously.

a great set up for a shot, and how unfortunate that it’s come to that with some religions, its all about the money instead of faith. i think it is sadder when people who do want to believe and find themselves are mislead by some of the preachers (or whatever they call themselves) take advantage of it. as a waiter ive literally had people tell me, they dont give more then 10% because God gets 10%, unfortunately i couldnt tell them God didnt mean Money!!

The God I know asks that the basket be filled with compassion and love and has nothing to do with the basket of cash. I don’t need to pay for god’s love. well done Helen.

Perfect

It should be about love and giving…not squeezing your parishoners dry and making them think
money will buy them into Heaven…organized religion has become big business….how sad is
that? Your art says it all!!!!!
