14. A lack of self education when it comes to the bible is responsible for these idiots.

They listen to their hateful, idiotic pastors every Sunday and fail to actually read the bible for themselves. Their views get twisted and angry because instead of looking for themselves, because they just don't have time, they are relying on people who essentially steal from them and have agendas longer than my height. I don't trust clergy who do not take a vow of poverty and stick to it. If you go to the church and your pastor is doing better than you are financially, there's something wrong.
