Sarah Silverman says Sell The Vatican, Feed The World

[Mark Mentzer]

Sarah's got the right idea.

[Mark Mentzer]

On a serious note she's got a VERY good point though.

[Mark F Lamb]

I think Sara might have a great idea. After all isn't the second commandment: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" You would think they would have realized this long ago when the Vatican and their churches around the world started stocking gold covered & jewel laded statues and crowns. Did not the Prophet Jesus tell his followers to divest themselves of their goods and give to the poor. Get rid of all that gold, jewels, and expensive art and give to the poor. And they have the nerve to call her vulgar. Jesus did his sermons in open fields and the like. So what kind of image do the poor get when they see the huge cathedrals filled with statues and art and stained glass windows with spire roofs. Do they see their tithe as helping others or building more glorious architect filled with gold statues and expensive art. I'm not sure one could criticize their Bose sound systems as you would want the congregation hear their message of charity.

Weird.. I write with my right. I also believe in women's choice regarding abortion and have nothing against Stem Cell Research. I guess you might say I am a man without a party. Heck I even like Country Western, e.g., "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"

I think she is funny, but she should add our own vaticans too.

[Mark Mentzer]

Mark F Lamb, I couldn't agree with you more. Jesus went to the synagogues and turned the tables on the merchants. What would he do if he saw all the pomp and circumstance in Vatican City?
