Therefore in order to save souls, God needs more money. Just ask any
televangelist or pulpit preacher, pastor, or priest. They will all tell
you that God needs your money, and that failing to give him your money
is, 'robbing god.' Compared to man's invincible free will, their
omnipotent God is so weak that that he needs money to fuel the
ministries of his divine soul saving mercenaries. With enough money
their god can overcome the soul-damning power of man's free will.
Where man's free will is too strong for God to tackle the profit motive
and capitalism can shore up the slack and save souls! And so you too
should not rob God. You should give him more money so that his servants
can use it to bribe men into becoming saved.
As the Divine Banker, I stand ready to receive your 'free will
offerings' so that we can buy and bribe souls into the kingdom of
holiness.
This can be written more cleanly - there's entire books in the Old
Testament dedicated to this subject.

Jesus hated the money changers, he was a fucking socialist.
Another reason to kill all rightists.
