It’s surprising how many liberals, agnostics or atheists wouldn’t pay the $39 for that, but they will pay $25 to go to a Block Party and see bands at an event designed to raise money for the local catholic church.

Save $9 and become a minister in the Church of the SubGenius! No pedos!

I think you may be wrong in assuming that money is going to the church. These big gatherings cost a lot of money to put on with security and such. The only other option would be to get the Britidh tax payer (amoung which I count myself) to pay even more for the visit. I’d much rather let the Catholics pay for it thanks. Also, Hermant, I’ve been reading your blog for a long time now, and you really do seem to be a lot less friendly recently. Please stop, you’re giving all of us a bad name.

they would have to pay me the price of a new Aston Martin to get me within 1000 yards of that old idiot, then I would only laugh at him

And those who didn’t voluntarily contribute the suggested amount will be treated the same as those who do? Yeah, riiight.

Fortunately, it makes absolutely no difference anyway. I’m amused by this attitude god is listening to my prayers but if I can get the pope to pray them for me, I’ve got his ear for sure! You’d think it’d occur to them that if god doesn’t seem to be answering their prayers there might just possibly be a reason for that — like there is no god to answer them.

And yet the British taxpayer is still paying for Benny the Poop to visit AND we’re not even allowed to arrest the crook. I’d pay $39 (£25) to see him dragged away by theh Old Bill. That’s entertainment.

Richard, my guess is they’ll construct a large Faraday cage to block electromagnetic prayer waves from being absorbed by the bums.

Any senior discount? 10% off with a flier from a cathedral? A dollar off with proof of purchase of Cap’n Christ Cereal? How about a $10 mail-in rebate if I get a note signed by my priest? Nothin’? What a bunch of gospel gougers.

What about scalpers? Maybe they’ll be selling tickets that night for $80. Scalpers for Jesus. Will they be selling refreshments inside the pay-for-pray area? I’ll have a Dogma Dog with a Salvation Smoothie.

So the Flood actually lasted 39.95 days, plus tax?

Parse,
I’m sitting here at Starbucks (really) using their signal, and your comment made me spray this bildgewater onto my iPhone. Thanks for a good laugh.
