1. Weiner ministries?

You are right to point this out......since that one channel is causing suck a big stink with the religious folks.

5. I had to Google "Weiner Ministries."

I'm damn glad most Xian grifters ignore that deadly sin of "envy." They trash-talk each other all the time, ESPECIALLY where money is concerned.

They remind me of used car sellers that way, trying to get your money by knocking the competition.

So we can thank one of Weiner's Xian brothers for snagging his IRS form and running down his income for us:

The organization received $637,000 in donations during 2008.

Of that amount, $69,576 went to ministry outreach (in the form of “financial support to individuals and organizations”).

Mr. Weiner received total compensation of $244,048 (including a $147,454 base salary, plus benefits, deferred compensation, and $80,000 in expense allowances).

Mr. Weiner’s wife received another $15,454.

6. And they pay no taxes

because of a religious exemption, because........Jesus.


You also have to wonder about the "ministry outreach" and what individuals or organizations received that pittance.

2. And I'm willing to guess that on more than one of those 440 channels,

people regularly say that one must accept JEEEE-ZUS to be saved.

But those atheists... *gasp*... they're so rude when they say they don't like religion!

3. What right do atheists have to go on Roku and start trashing the place

(Yeah, I'm fucking talking to you, lurker )

4. It obviously takes SO MUCH ENERGY

and constant tap dancing to try and keep ancient superstitions relevant and believable. It's like some kinda natural tendency toward reason must be thwarted at all costs. It's not hard to subdue it, but the BS must be recharged endlessly....apparently.

No wonder a single atheist station is freaking them out.
