It’s easier to walk through the eye of a needle than convince religious people they’re being scammed.
We have put our best scientists to work to genetically engineer a microscopically small camel!
We are a nation by scammers, of scammers, and for scammers.
Turns out a lot of the New Atheists - your Christopher Hitchenses and Richard Dawkinses and your Sam Harri - were actually totally cool with a right-wing dominionist government, so long as that government killed Muslims. The Randian Objectivists promised rationality, but only ever delivered new flavors of bigotry. The Neoliberal Egalitarians promised a clean separation of Church and State, right up until they looked at the poll numbers and discovered you could pick up 2-pts in Maine by punching a Transgender person. The Liberal Unitarians and squishy Agnostics keep showing up to pay $120/ticket to see abused dancers perform Shen Yun and send billion dollar checks to genocidal Zionists abroad.
Like, religion sucks yadda yadda. But I don’t see that secular dividend. Would the world be a better place if Televangelist Private Jets were owned by more Home Shopping Network con-artists, instead?
At least home shopping network cons would pay taxes
I’ll believe that when I see the receipts.
Interview with Kenneth Copeland about why he flies on Private Jets (it’ll make your blood boil)

Timestamp 3:15 is just before the mask falls off.
He’s doing a pretty good impression of a deamon.
A waste of space and oxygen, those televangelists are.
INB4 someone broad-brushes this to be about… ahh, fuck, I’m too late.
Some own multiple
Just like Jesus wanted!
Yep. I’m a Christian, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t.
“god told me we must buy this plane.”

A bit off-topic, but how the fuck can anyone think someone like this is connected to god?
They are closer to God because they fly in the sky.
Makes perfect sense, can’t argue with that.
Don’t forget to put five in the plate nanna. It’s going to a good cause…
Fuck private jets and fuck the people who own and sell them.
Of course they do. When televangelists go to an airport, they rest their hands on their private jet and then confess their sins and express their gratitude for their good fortune through the words of Saint Reznor: “My whole existence is flawed. You bring me closer to god.”
And then they have like… a totally wicked cocaine sex party in the air.
I would argue violence/force is very christian. There’s a reason it took over Europe, and in later centuries it sought the rest of the world.
You expect them to ride a regular plane filled with demons?
Sam and Dean did it and they turned out fine! Uh, sort of.
But how many times did Sam die during the flight?
