  They wanted those kids to go at a concert and “spread the gospel” to people who paid to be there. Not sure about you, but I know I wouldn’t take that well.

    Sure, but that’s not a grift.

      Whoops, you’re right, my bad. I’m not a native speaker and mixed “grifter” with “griefer”.

      The Baptist church is the grift. As is the majority of modern organized religion.

        Okay sure, but by taking their money, that’s just doing the same thing the church is criticized for, taking money under false pretenses.

        Grifting the grifters would be defrauding the church, not the congregation.
