[On news that Creflo Dollar is looking for 200,000 people to give him $300 each so he can by a $65m plane for his ministry]
The Bible tells me the streets of Heaven are paved with gold. If we are ambassadors, representatives, from Heaven then we should look like Heaven. Heaven has the best and so should we. I have no problem in supporting this as a Follower of Jesus, because I too will be taking part in getting the gospel around the world and helping those in need. This is a great opportunity to help a ministry purchase a vehicle that will be used to help so many others in need. TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!! It brings me Joy to be a part of this Great Ministry!!! Thank You Lord!!!!!!!

Please, show me the bible verses that tell you that "ambassadors, representatives, from Heavan" should have tons of multi-million dollar toys to play with. Because I seem to recall this one passage that said something about rich men and camels going through a needle's eye. And correct me if I'm mistaken but I also recall Jebus said something about selling all your stuff and giving the money to the poor. But let me guess, you're totally not hypocrites,right?
I want all of the readers of this BB to send me $10,000.
Make your checks out to "CASH" and mail to:
DFM Charitable Foundation
Well they say there's one born every minute or in this case 200,000.
Apparently because there has been so much outrage his organisation has taken down the appeal. Looks like it was so brazen even the fundie suckers wouldn't swallow it.
This snake oil salesman already has two Rolls Royces and multi million dollar homes in Atlanta and New York.
I wonder how many lepers you can fit inside one of these jets?
According to Financial Juneteenth, a Report of the Senate Finance Committee, Minority Staff Review of WCCI, found that Dollar's current jet had also been used for a variety of vacation flights, including stops in Las Vegas, Nevada, Miami, Florida and Hawaii,
Must be a lot of poor and needy in those places.
Check out the promo video. Every Megachurch should have one.

Just a little something that came to mind when I read about this story:Suicidal Tendencies - "Send Me Your Money"
(#1776301)
I actually got an acquaintance of mine with that once. Came back at me with the dictionary opened to the correct page, and everything. The way his expression deflated once the proverbial penny dropped--damn , that was priceless.
Kimberly Simmons-Robinson: I'm being cheated out of my money, and I'M LOVIN' IT!
Ah, how are these people for real?
Yeah, Conman Dollar's net worth is somewhere around $27M and he can't afford a plane with that?
Fuck that "sell all you have, give to the poor and follow me" bible shit! You're just not reading that in context. If you read that in context, it really says "Scam everyone you can, buy as much shit as you can, fuck the poor out of their food and rent money, and say the bible told you to do it".
You CAN get away with anything if you just put "Reverend" in front of your name.
“The Bible tells me the streets of Heaven are paved with gold.”
In other words, in Heaven gold is so worthless that it is only fit to be used as paving cobble. If the denizens of Heaven think gold has such little value, they must think it the height of foolishness that so many people desire it so strongly hear on Earth.
How does anyone fall for the prosperity gospel scam? Rich people I can understand, since it lets them sleep soundly knowing that they're right with God. Everybody else, though? Why? Even a cursory reading of the gospels shows that Jesus said exactly the opposite.
Things are precious because they are rare, silly; if there's enough gold to pave the streets with it, it's not precious.
Didn't Jesus say something about selling your possessions and giving the money to the poor?
Imagine how many extra of "those in need" y'all could help with that $65m, if he kept flying economy instead?
So you're okay helping someone well off to buy a luxury item, but if that $300 was to go to those in need it would be wrong, as that's socialism, where it would be rewarding those that don't work hard and it would create a culture of dependency. Riiiiiight, well done in letting Creflo Dollar know that you're a gullible fool that he can exploit to fund his culture of dependency!
"This snake oil salesman already has two Rolls Royces and multi million dollar homes in Atlanta and New York."
At least, but this is the "prosperity Gospel" racket so I certainly don't feel sorry for a single follower. These guys actually flaunt their wealth so this stunt shouldn't surprize the flock at all. Not like Ham and Comfort and hundreds of others living in mansions enjoying the best and pretending they're humble servants of the word, nope, these prosperity priests get up and brag of their wealth.
Glad to hear the congregation balked at this, now if they stop given him money entirely, walk away from the church and never donate again, then,,, the fucker will still be rich.
It was churchs like his and other megachurchs that years ago had bills introduced on taxing these multi-million dealys and ridiculous salaries in religions at least,, guess what, Republicans squashed them and have kept them from ever having a chance to be implemented.
You can bet your bottom dollar that prosperity churchs and members are Republican supporters, but don't, they're known for welching on deals.
"Heaven has the best and so should we."
But they will say Atheists think they're Gods unto themselves.
Well, no one said religions are sensible or consistant, except themselves, and they're always wrong.
Doing the Lord's work by buying their preacher a $65,000,000 personal jet aircraft.
Heaven has the best and so should we.
What makes you think that YOU will ever see any of that wealth you're sending to this conjob preacher who is so aptly named?
Do all these super rich money-grubbing preachers just pretend those parts of the bible where Jesus denounced rich people don't exist, or what? That is, if they actually do believe in what they're selling and aren't just running some huge con job to begin with.
But what I don't understand are the gullible idiots who think they need to send their hard earned money to rich televangelists so they can be even richer. I guess they get what they deserve.
Let's see:
$65M spent on feeding, housing, and providing medical care for the poor, or
Hmm, what would Jeebus do?
Fine, Kimmy. YOU can pay for Dollar's pricey jet.
But, as a free thinker, I'm not having any of it nor will I contribute one thin dime to this obvious sham.
Because it's not like that $65 million could be put towards better uses. Like, oh just going out on a limb here, of helping the poor and needy the way that Jesus guy talked about in the book you people keep thumping on about but apparently have never bothered to actually read.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
