How Many Jets Should A Televangelist Have?

You know, to avoid flying commercial flights with a bunch of demon filled, doped up regular people trying to bother them.

The one thing I could say in their defense is that they are CEOs.
Private jets are convenient for executives.

@chrisCA Camel. Eye of needle. Rich man. Heaven.

No chance for them then!

@MarkA My understanding of that piece, is that it would be difficult for the rich, but not impossible.

MarkA · 56-60, M

Impossible/difficult?
Whichever it is you'd think they'd maximise their chances and practice what they preached if Heaven was such a great place to end up. Wouldn't you? I would.

If'm honest it's been a while since I've read that bit of the Bible! Or....any other bits. I'm relying on my memory, but don't tell them that....😉

I'd actually say it was pretty damned impossible to get a camel through the eye of a needle, wouldn't you? Even a dwarf camel and a big needle. So, if it's harder for a rich man to enter heaven than that, then impossible would actually be an understatement......rich people are definitely doomed, no question.
Maybe TV Evangelists should actually read the Bible?

@MarkA I hope you are not referring to a sewing needle. That is not the needle Jesus was referring to.

MarkA · 56-60, M

There are other needles? Special 'camel-sized' ones??? I just KNEW there would be some get-out clause for them somewhere....

chrisCA · M

@MarkA He was referring to a narrow gate in a walled city.

MarkA · 56-60, M

And special skinny camels too, no doubt....?
Why not just call it a bloody 'gate' then?? 'Eye of a needle' doesn't sound like a narrow gate to me, sorry. Even a 2000 year old gate, even allowing for a bit of 'interpretation' over the years

Soooo much deliberate ambiguity, so few real facts
