I suggest he get off his knees and fucking do something. There's enough of us praying across the country, and he's in a position to actually render some direct help.

They stopped speaking to me - his entire family (wife, adult children) - and I finally found out why.

I'm an atheist and apparently that makes me a negative influence on their spirituality.

I have a cousin whose adult children got sucked into one of those megachurches with prosperity theology shouted to the rafters. Took them a while, but they eventually realized the only on prospering was the preacher as those greasy dollar bills from tithes no one could really afford kept rolling on in.

Until then, distance and silence are probably best, although it's hard on the kids not knowing their family.

He needs to "Become a Better Version of Himself"

1. Learn to rip people off
2. Plenty of Botox
3. Whiten your teeth
4. Snag trophy wife
5. Hair plugs
6. Get on the TV with God as your pimp
7. PREY. ABOVE ALL ELSE PREY.

His hair was perfect!

Ecclesiastes 5:10: "He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity."

of many more like him

I only hope prayer is over 21.

Then I read this afternoon where they were putting down air mattresses and were finally taking people. So which is it? Were those pics showing it flooded fake?

How about a nice big donation, Joel? Has that ever occurred to you?
