Christianity is the original Ponzi scheme.

The point? Does this "get" all of us Christians, and we're all bad now? I mean goodness, if one is a fraud, then it applies to all? In fairness, can we apply this to all religions? Do you think all Muslims are terrorists? Cause I can post some stories and pics. Are they all child rapists? Wife beaters? I can go on with other religions, just curious why some of you completely ignore those, and dig for anything you can find to make Christians look bad.

I would argue organized religion is the ponzi. Being a Christian stands for being Christ like and has nothing to do with some who would take advantage of others in his name.

Jesus been flipping tables at churches taking advantage of people in His Fathers name since the days before Christianity even existed.

What's your point? That dudes with ulterior motives use Christianity as a shade for their deviant or otherwise 'frowned upon' behavior. GET OUT! SHOCKER!

If you're gonna be Mister Obvious, why don't you spend some time on Islam? You ever looked at that s**tshow of a religion? BTW... did you know that the Narrator met Tyler at a nude beach in the book? In the movie, it was a plane.

I don't think you have any remote idea what a Ponzi scheme is.

Isn't that the thing though, or a thing with the Evangelists/Televangelists. Where they encourage people to make a monetary pledge with the promise of being paid back exponentially by God or Jesus or whoever?

Might be a stretch to say that Christianity has been a Ponzi scheme, in general, but the the idea if you do these things now, you will be richly rewarded later, doesn't seem too far off.

How is that different from, say, Islam? At least the Christians aren't offering Epstein services in the afterlife.

Well, it's different in that it's not the subject of this thread, but other than that, I would say they're very similar, if not sometimes exactly the same.

Yeah, doesn't have to be a Sherwin Williams color match to get there. Good job.

Churches are a hotbed for fraud and scams. No argument there.

A Ponzi scheme follows a specific formula, and is fundamentally a technique for creating the facade of ROI for a subset of investors at any time.

God wants you to give me your money is a scam, but not a Ponzi scheme.

It means that there are hypocrites among you, not a blanket statement.

You won't go to heaven unless you give me 10% of your income.
