I do well persuading the believers. Hmmn, I wonder if all this atheism isn’t me spiting my face for my nose?
Honestly I never thought of taking advantage of the religious idiot. But, it could be rather lucrative.
Oops! Sorry everybody, seems I’ve inadvertently shared my inside voice with all of you. If you would be so kind to disregard everything in this post it would be much appreciated.

I had always thought that Peck was religious, so I checked his Wikipedia entry and found that I was more or less correct (I know Wikipedia has limits). However, the entry includes this statement: “one of his religious views was that people who are evil attack others rather than face their own failures” (from The Road Less Travelled).
Sounds applicable to a lot of what’s going on today.

oh c’mon sinjin…..
” it COULD be rather lucrative ”
the religionistas suck money outta their flocks
harder than a Hoover.
look at the jimmy swaggart empire, oral roberts,
jim bakker, billy graham, robert schuller, and
that guy down in texas ( cant think of his name )
who holds his tele-services in a huge sports arena
that he OWNS ! and every sunday it’s SRO in
that arena !!
these mooks are swimming in an OCEAN of money
that just keeps flowing out of the pockets and
purses of the faithful. LUCRATIVE !!??!!??
well , i guess you could say that !!
i was a television director for years and years,
and i directed a Zillion religious peograms. and,
i can tell you for ABSOLUTE SURE they were ALL
ABOUT money. one show i used to do monthly
for syndication, had begun on radio in the 30s,
and moved to tv in the mid-60s. you should’ve
SEEN these guys !! perfect tv frauds !! silvery
hair, ice blue eyes, perfect suits, and
beautiful speaking voices. and they could act SO
choked up , the cameras practically melted. AND,
the guy who was the boss, had a LEAR, and one year
bought his sister a BENTLY for her birthday !!!!
absolute truth.
the guy i was trying to think of was JOEL OSTEEN,
and if you havent caught his act, please do. he’s
a master speaker, and worth TEN times his weight
in gold. and dont forget that hideous Joyce
something-or-other. she’s got so many primo
antiques that she’s got museums after her for
the collectiom !!
BIG-TIME religion is BIG TAll money. truckloads
of it.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
anyway, didnt you tell me you have Netflix ?????
well, last nite on netflix i watched the doucumentary
called, ” Loose Change…911 ” and i was amazed by it,
and quite disturbed. if youve seen it, would you mind
giving me your take ??? very scary stuff……..

joyce MEYER is the woman i was thinking of
October 4th, 2011 at 21:07
I’ve seen Loose Change. It makes a heck of a lot more sense than the 911 commission report.
October 4th, 2011 at 21:56
R j and Electra I’ll check out Loose Change…911 .
So R j do you think you could help me become a televangelist? Except one thing I’d like to model myself after Creflo A Dollar.
I’d have to do it black face, a la Al Jolson, to complete the fraud as I’m as lilly white as you get.
Basically I was thinking I could be a “hightech” Creflo where I sold “prayer delivery devices” which basically look like a cars remote but with the symbol of your choosing on the outside.
The symbol would be just a cheap plastic cover for a button that when pressed would deposit money in my account from whatever idiot would be stupid enough to buy one of these things.
I’d be up on stage blathering some non-sense about why you needed to pay for prayer delivery instead of just doing it the traditional way.
And I want gold hair, not blond, gold. Shiny gold hair and a shiny gold mustache.
I need a name? Hmmn “Cleotis Cash” sounds good. I’m off now to have my name legally changed to Cleotis Cash.

SINJIN…………………….
why, you’ve got show-biz in yer blood !!!!
using CREFLO as a model is PERFECT !! he’s so awful he’s
almost good. my own personal favorite is jimmy swaggart.
WHAT a palooka.
listen…ive got great hopes for you. but, we’ll need something
to blast you into national prominence.
for a lark, i signed up for the email bulletin from
TERRY JONES……….. he’s the dink who got WORLD attention
for burning the koran. i’ll put it this way…..the guy is not
an intellectual heavy-weight…….but if HE CAN GRAB
THAT MUCH ATTENTION……YOU CAN TOO !!!!
boy i tell ya, i can see that gold hair and moustache glinting out
of millions of screens WORLDWIDE !!!!!!!!!
THIS IS GONNA BE BIG, Cleotis, REALLY BIG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Sorry guys, but the really big one has already been taken by L. Ron Hubbard. His former friend, Robert A. Heinlein reported a drunken conversation in the early 1950’s in which L. Ron is purported to have said something on the order of “I’ve had it with writing for a living, religion’s the key. Found a new religion and you’ll have all the money you could ever want.” Then he went out and DID it!
Welcome to the Church of Scientology!
