"Y'all better sit down; I'll get too choked up to minister," drawled Hammond, 63, pastor of the nondenominational megachurch, which has almost 10,000 members. He called questions about his financial dealings "a misunderstanding" of his prosperity-gospel ministry, which holds that following God's word leads to spiritual and economic bounty.
People this stupid deserve to be ripped off.
It is hard not to think super religious people are not a bunch of ignoramuses when they fall for this kind of crap. I am trying to understand. No, really!
P.T. Barnum explained it.
