Tax free also too. An American quadfecta.

Makes you long for those good old days with Oral Roberts and his crew.

And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade".— John 2:13–16

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.— Matthew 21:12–13

Being a conman has always been Bakker's religion. He's been selling bullshit for Jesus since the 1970s, with only the brief interruption of his prison sentence for fraud.

At least Roberts only threatened to kill himself if you didn't send him money.

If Jimbo wins this lawsuit, I'll be opening a chain of divinely-inspired brothels throughout the country.

Are you assuming Jim Bakker actually drinks that stuff?

He'll lose the lawsuit, but with Kegs Kavanaugh and the other theocrats on the Supreme Court, he has an excellent chance of winning on appeal.

Could we start with everyone who commits adultery?

The collection always comes before communion, and not because of the alphabet.

I am not sure why the State of Missouri is treating that little pipsqueak with kid gloves. If he's so keen to sue to be able to sell his poison, let him do it from inside a jail cell.

It's because that, since the first swearing in of a President on a bible, it's beena tacit understanding that religion is above the law.

There is a precedent with the "Divine prostitutes Temple", of course that wasn't christianity, so they know nothing about "heathen" religion.

You're confusing the practice of religion with theology.
