This is a story Ive been checking on since I heard about it last month. Since very few media outlets outside of South Africa have reported on it I wanted to draw attention to the story.

*I check for anything involving Maserati, my biggest weakness.

Damn, here I was a bit pissed when Father Dave bought himself a new Jeep Cherokee. Guess it’s time I go to confession.

... I wish I was wealthy enough to do absurd shit like this (as long as the money was not from exploiting people, like this guy’s money is).

That’s why it’s better to be protestant*. Just work hard and apparently God doesn’t care what you do, from my understanding.

*Unless you’re lazy, then it’s a really bad thing to be protestant

Yeah, fuck this guy so hard. I’m no fan of religion, but I can’t deny that there are plenty of good groups and people doing fantastic (if a bit misguided) work. On the other hand, this kind of asshole is what causes a lot of atheists to say fuck them all.

That really only applies to Calvinists, actually.

Edit: Source, a lazy Calvinist

I think it’s funny that it took the guy buying his kid a Maserati for people to think “hey, maybe he’s not being totally responsible with how he handles donations.” I’m guessing there have been other signs (like his salary).

Really? Damn.

Granted, this revelation about my lack of religious knowledge is unsurprising after I got kicked out of Sunday School.

I want to see him drive it on air.

Yeah, and what’s worse, you can’t really spend the fruits of your labor, and you’re supposed to be all into self denial. Not totally sure, but I think a Christmas Carol may have been a critique of Puritan business ethics.

Edit: Puritans rejected the celebration of Christmas as a pagan and Catholic holiday (as opposed to a biblical one). Hence, Scrooge being a Puritan would make sense.

Child abuse, pure and simple. When she’s old enough to drive it, it’ll break down within 10 miles of leaving home.

Nope. Us Catholics rule. Our festivals alone put other faiths to shame. My church is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and we are going to blow this mother fucker out! Beer, bands and fun! Take that, all you “non-denominational” churches!

I know right. I don’t even want New Maserati money. Just like 5 year old Mustang GT money.

No, no, no. You can spend the fruits of your labor. You just have to plan it out like a good steward, save a million, and let the dividends from your stock pay for everything, and figure out how to use it for ‘church purposes’ so that you can prove on your taxes that it is a donation to a 501c3. But don’t donate anything to the poor because they need to learn a lesson about not spending.

no, my (limited) experience is that all you have to do is remind everyone that you’re “saved” and you can be the biggest piece of trash yet still get into heaven.

My wife’s step-dad works at a Chevy dealership.

The other day he sends us a text saying “the owner bought a brand new 2017 Cruze for his daughter, but he’s decided to sell it because the kid is only 13, and won’t be driving for 3 years. If you want it, we can sell it to you for $13,100.”

If you own a dealership, and have money, why would you buy a car 3 years before she can drive?

We didn’t buy it - my wife drove the last Cruze once and did not like it, so she wasn’t into even trying the new one.

Yeah, a lot of effort went into zooming in on his feet there. The cameraman was careful to make sure that we couldn’t see whatever/whomever was casting those shadows on either side of him.

Yep, I listened to that series. It was one of my favorites. My seven year-old made me sit in the car and listen to the end of it in our driveway. She got really into it for some reason.

The seedy underbelly of our society may not be pretty, but it’s often very intriguing...

Lol, yup. I didn’t notice the shadows though. Good eye.
