That is what organized religion does, what it wants – your money, your obedience. At best it is poor psychology and maybe education of a sort, at worst it is a con
When Houston flooded a bit more recently, he had to be publicly shamed into opening the church, the former basketball arena in the city, as a sanctuary for people in need.
Religion, ALL religion, is a con intended to wash brains clean of any rational thought and to fleece the flock. Why else do you think the rethuglicans got in bed with the xtians… they wanted to learn the con from those that are best at it.

Religion: to control the masses, put them in fear of an imaginary being, make them do crazy rituals and say crazy things, and steal their money

The picking of pockets is not from heaven, but from those who use religion to steal money and freedoms and power over others.

Religion doesn’t have to pick your pocket or suppress your free will.

I think if God wants me to send someone money, he’ll probably let me know personally, rather than through a “God botherer”.

God doesn’t need money, religion seems to need a lot of it.
