    And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

    Facebook is basically a modern street corner I suppose. What a jackass.

      Oh boy prosperity gospel! It’s like a pyramid scheme for the gullible faithful but without all the middlemen!

      Pro tip: God has even less need for money than he does a starship.

        We don’t know why they refused though. It could be because this is some sort of horrible indoctrination school.
