THIS made me laugh – quite hard. You may laugh too. Crying is also an option, considering what a pathetic possibility this represents to stave off financial disaster:
Would you ever seek financial advice from a place of worship?

As George Carlin said, God is bad with money. He never has enough. He always needs more.
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit! (from George Carlin’s HBO special, “You Are All Diseased”, recorded live at New York City’s Beacon Theater on February 6, 1999)
With all the hucksters out there fleecing the flocks for god, no sane person would ask a minister for financial guidance. Many of them will tell you to tithe, to give your money to the church, and that god will take care of you, or see your money returned in abundance. It’s all lies. People go broke, lose everything, doing such stupid things.
Fortunately, most of the people polled so far (as of just before noon today) seem to understand that going to a church for money advice is a bad option. I feel bad for the 19% who think it’s a good option. They’ll be disappointed. It’s only good advice for the church in question.
Basically, this is another get rich quick scheme. People are desperate and they want to get money in the easiest way possible. But mana from heaven they won’t get. Instead they’ll get treated like a choir boy in a Catholic church.
