Pay to Pray. Literally selling religion as a commodity without even a hint of irony. I'm not religious, but anybody who is ought to be really offended that a president thinks their prayers can be bought and paid for.
- It's not like this is the first time religion has been used to profit.
  
  It should be used for prophet, instead!
  
  Sorry, I'll leave.
  
  Obviously not. But for an incoming presidents inauguration it is.
  
  I hope.
How much to punch him in the face?
- Why stop there? You have a time and location.
I'm a fan of The Righteous Gemstones too.
That's called bribery and it's legal.
Damn, almost gotta respect the grift... Almost.
Hmmmmm I saw that before. Something about letters of indulgence.
Matthew 6 comes to mind.
- What’s that? I only know Johnny 5.
  
  Your mama was a snow blower!
- For me, it was Ezekiel 23:20. But then again, that one is always on my mind 😏
- Deuteronomy 23:13
  
  “Each of you must have a spade as part of your equipment. Whenever you relieve yourself, dig a hole with the spade and cover the excrement”?
Im only charging $10 to pray with me (honest. No scam)
- $9 here, and I’ll tell you I love you.
  
  $5 and I'll parody that subway jingle
Prophet for Profit
- Nice
The human race is embarrassing
- Is there life on mars? 😞
  
  It's a god-awful small affair
Bleed em dry lol
So the Zuckerberg, Bezos, Altman etc overpaid by paying 1 million?
- That's underpaying compared to their future earnings.
Clearly didn't read the Bible because it says the sky daddy is everywhere looking at you. Even when you're popping or fucking. He's right there waiting to give you cancer, heart attack, accidents etc. Certainly not waiting there to give you an apple juice or a burger.
Victim-that-I-care-about-less crime.
Scams that target people who are already struggling financially? Boo! Scams that target people who are okay with and can afford stupid shit like this? lmao!
- I would probably view this as kissing the ring/or a legal bribe vs a scam, it's not like he's just gonna forget about the people paying this much money to do this with him. I think a lot of people in this thread are viewing this as a scam and not just buying access which can pay in dividends if you are the right rich person to benefit from having Trump as your friend.
Yawn..who cares at this point.
