Capitalism = Christianity: Auto Shop Offers Biblical Discount
A Dallas oil change business is offering a discount if customers come in and quote the John 3:16 from the Bible. Maybe he should start quoting Acts 8:20, Peter's rebuke to Simon Magus, who had offered the apostles money in exchange for the gift of the Holy Spirit: "'May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!”

4. Apparently not or so I was told
by a born again. All you have to do now is except Jesus in your heart and you're good to go. Doesn't matter what you do, so people like Gandhi and Mother Theresa (Catholics are not Christians, don't you know.) are in hell. Some twisted logic.

5. More fake "prosperity" X-tians...may they rot in their own hell.
I believe NONE of it - God, Jeebus, Allah, Zeus, Thor, Isis, sin, salvation, hell, purgatory - but for those who profess to believe, I truly do hope I am wrong, because eternal fire is too lenient for them.

6. Driving the moneychangers out of the temple with a whip is too long to quote - demonstration time?
