    evangelist Joel Tenney, who wanted someone fired over the inclusion and implied (in the comments) that he would personally vandalize the “grossest form of idolatry I have ever seen in my state.” He even asked his followers, “Who’s gonna bail me out?!”

    No, he deliberately riled up his followers, then referenced the need for “bail money” like six different times. Guy is just after the money. Hmm, I wonder what his holy book says about money?

    Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.

    Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have.

    You cannot serve both God and money.

    For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

    Oops

      “It is more difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, than a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.”

      I don’t know, seems vague…

      Luckily they live in the United States of Amoneyca and they are Coinageans praying to the all mighty green and papery Georgod Washington. They can serve both God and money because they are one and the same.
