His blatant dishonesty is amazing.

I was flipping channels and heard the word 'tithe.'  I turned back to channel
20 and to a man dressed exceedingly well behind a big desk with a book opened
on it.

This Christian master was explaining how to 'properly' tithe and he was doing
so as if explaining it to children, repeating the salient points over and over
again.  He wanted it clear that he and his fellow masters wanted 10% of _all_
their followers income, not just $20.00 a week.  He then explained how if you
make $100.00 a week you should send him $10.00 but if you make $500.00 a week,
you shouldn't send in a set tithe of $20.00, you should send in $50.00.

He waved his hand over the book on the table and claimed that his gods are
"very clear on this matter."  (My words.)

I was amazed.  I was utterly amazed that the civil and national authorities
can't and won't do anything to stop such fraud -- because it's NOT considered
fraud by the ignorant sheep and it's to the vast benefit of the ruleing class
to keep the ignorant ignorant.

The many "psychic hot lines" that are also sold on the television is no
different than what death cultists sell on the television:  the comfort of
false truths -- always at a price.
