IS money comes from illegal oil sales, often smuggled through Turkey. Extortion, tax's and bribery from those within the territory they hold. Private donations from supporters, not necessarily religious ones. Ransom money. The sale of valuables they have stolen and plundered, including relics.
If you two girls are going to hug and kiss, I want to see some tongue action going on

for science purposes
Just look at the igliese ni Christo churches...palaces in a country where they are starving..and the rulers of that church have their own $350,000 jet ....
See? I told you folk would want to get in on the action, Crazy. rolling on the floor laughing

That's not quite what I had in mind for a group hug, Al. roll eyes
Zman, I personally know the "Soulfire" Church in Köln and they have enabled a hospital in Ethiopia by a fund raising campaign. This church is only one of many doing such beneficial work. wave
That's a common business situation as well, Ian.

Huge businesses, side by side and feeding off those with next to nothing, or nothing.

Yet we seem to have more of a negative and emotional response to religious institutions (who take part in business) than business institutions (who take part in religion).

What's that all about?
Al,

what exactly do you mean 'tongue action'?confused

Jac was talking about group hug...you in or not?grin
For goodness' sake, don't offer Al the 'in' option, Crazy. laugh
two girls

not

to girls doh
Jac,

I was trying to be kind to him...



Al,

you sound envious?confused dunno
Thanks for your responses to the topic I put up for questioning...I just wanted to show that there are people that take advantage of religions to suit their own demented and sick needs...truly sad that these groups can cause discord among us...
@ Crazy... more fool you! laugh

@ Lou... that's poingent, that thing about the misuse of religion coming between ordinary folk. tip hat
Jac,

just so you know I have a very kind heart...full of love to give, I won't mind sharing some of them to AL.


Where is he?confused
Calleis , whilst organising a fund raising campaign is commendable it hardly amounts to paying for it themselves dunno
I expect Al's half way up your dress by now, Crazy. laugh
zman
I am not against religion...some actually do help others in need...but we cannot ignore the fact that some of the religious hierarchy benefited financially and turned their cheek at illegal activities...
Jac,


I can't see him...that sly hunky manshock
Lou,

Thanks for your comment...it appears that many use religion to justify their misdeeds...we need to be aware that sometimes religious groups/cults are not in our best interest...they harm...
The problem with Religious institutions is that they are MAN MADE, supposedly inspired by a higher power. For centuries, people didn't question it and looked up to it as something set in place by God himself......but that is not the case. People can do good or do bad...so these institutions can be as sick as the people running them, or as good as the people running them. Churches are made up of PEOPLE. Built by people and run by people.

The holy books, likewise, were written by PEOPLE. Supposedly inspired by God himself...but bottom line, they were written by people, interpreted by people, and translated by......people. With all of the mistakes that people make. That is why the bible is so full of the CUSTOMS of the times that they were written in. And that is why some books were later removed...maybe some passages as well. So it is NOT INFALLIBLE. However, I think there are some truths and wisdom within, here and there, and the prophecies are interesting. Seems to be some hidden codes within as well.
My respect. With video that understood a little, but having read comments understood about what the speech. I don't recognize what religion, which against mankind. For me there is a true religion, it where is told, don't kill, don't steal, don't deceive, help the neighbor, and be merciful. In any religion if it is I welcome this religion.handshake
Lou,
Whatever they are good or not although, I am thinking them like the bridges connecting us with God, that God sending to humans,so don't stop on the bridges to get upset or the anger because God would/will do that. And my job is walking on them with a few or a lot the thanks to them..., and look ahead, my goal: God loving and the Kingdom of Paradise. Yeah!
cheering cheering banana banana heart wings heart wings peace
Sadly in America we still have enclaves and groups where that sort of thing goes on. The good news is one by one they fall as the victims get old enough to tell authorities what goes on inside.
ummka
Sad but many use religion as a tool to dominate others...and make money...it perhaps should be seen as a cult...
xuan
Thanks for your comments...many people of such cults...believe that the government is evil including police and others not like them...that is what creates power...and the inability to seek help...
