Yeah, I need privacy when talking to god as well. You know, all that private stuff, masturbation fantasies, my kill list and dream casting for the Teletubbies movie.

Can't do that on an airliner either.

I never get any god damned peaches.

*promote. because you can't talk to God flying RyanAir

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Monday, January 4th, 2016 8:29am PST - promote requested by kulpims.

Of course you can do that on an airliner. You'll just need god to stop the air marshals from forcefully hog tying you and taking you away when you land. Sounds like a good test of His powers.

How about, instead of Amos, you open to the book of Luke.

"No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." (NLT, Luke 16:13)

Or Matthew

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (NIV, Matthew 6:19-21)

But it's obvious these guys don't actually practice the religion they preach. They're gifted con-men, like most highly-successful American figures who tout their Christianity (looking at you GOP field).

"He came on television and told everyone he had seen God. So I stopped channel surfing immediately. He said that he had seen God, and God told him to raise 8 million dollars. God was broke."

I am now accepting donations of faith so I can talk to God via this method.

Gah... makes me ill thinking of the money and where it from.

Just how vile these people really are.

I'm pretty open minded about religion, but I think if you have actual two-way spoken conversations with God in English, you may be schizophrenic or at the very least have a bit of an ego problem. Also, here you are, having a chat with the all-knowing, omnipotent, omnipresent creator of the universe, and best you can do is make small talk about what you plan to do with your private airplane? Granted, I'd probably find myself a little tongue tied in that situation, but I'd at least try for something more significant--at least enough to write a short epistle.

As always, when I listen to con-men like him, I get the impression of listening to a six year old boy justifying his bad behaviour.

Any idea what the book of Amos was going to suggest he ask his flock to send more money for? It sounded like Santa was hinting that he could increase his faith by way of more large scale presents. Thus improving his connection to Santa.

You need to call it 'seed money', not donations. Get with the times bro.

Everybody call these guys conmen. They're not. To con somebody you actually have to make up a lie, you have to be creative and convincing. These guys are neither, they just take from people who gave up on thinking altogether.
They're as much conmen as a guy who takes candy from a baby is a master thief.

Three ministers were chatting one day about how each faith decided what part of donations went to the church, and which part went to God's Works.

The Catholic Minister said, "We draw a circle on the floor, and toss the donations in the air. What falls in the circle, is for the Church, what falls outside is for the Lord."
The Protestant Minister said, "We do almost the same, only what falls within the circle is for the Lord."
Finally, the Evangelical Minister said, "Every Sunday afternoon, we too throw our donations in the air, and whatever God catches, he keeps!"
