Trump claims failure to arrest him is conspiracy to keep him from getting donations

If not arrested by Friday, Trump said, “I will perform a citizen’s arrest on myself.”

Side note: You know you’re on DU when the spellcheck recognizes “Borowitz”.

and you'll go to heaven. It works, millions of people do it and have done so for centuries. Some even set up auto pay. No wonder they have now come up with what is now called....."Prosperity Gospel". It works.

The "prosperity gospel" pastors/collectors seem to do much better in the prosperity than the investors/donors.

Judas was an early, modern-day, conservative disciple.

Judas got 30 pieces of silver, but just once, for selling Christ.

Franklin Graham, Jim Bakker, Pat Robertson, and their ilk get millions of dollars repeatedly for selling Christ.

Judas was a fool for doing a one-time sale.
