Was Jesus rich?

"Christians gather around the world each Christmas to sing about "poor baby Jesus" asleep in the manger with no crib for his bed.

But the Rev. Creflo Dollar looks inside that manger, and he doesn't see a poor baby at all.

He sees a baby born into wealth because the kings visiting him gave him gold, frankincense and myrrh. He sees a messiah with so much money that he needed an accountant to track it. He sees a savior who wore clothes so expensive that the Roman soldiers who crucified him gambled for them.

Dollar sees a rich Jesus."

Creflo Dollar?

"I’d like to start a religion. That’s where the money is."

In his memoir, Eshbach quotes L. Ron Hubbard as telling him in 1949, "I’d like to start a religion. That’s where the money is." He is not the only science fiction fan to allege having heard Hubbard make similar remarks.

Who knows if it's real or not. I didn't hear Hubbard say it. It certainly would not surprise me though - Hubbard was a smart guy and he was absolutely right.

The Lord is not pleased with rolling eyes! Flippancy is un-Godly!

Existentialism is un-Godly, too!

It's very dark-sided.

I dont really want to take religious advice from a chronic self abuser.
Its like taking financial advice from a bum.

Here, Jesus, I made this for you. I'll be sure to brandish it everywhere so that people know you were tortured to death just like millions of other people in the history of the world.

"Self abuser," hehe. Gotta love those wacky fundie terms.
