    have you met a single one of those Christians fundamentalists old people?

    steal their organs while they’re at it, nothing of value was lost.

    they weren’t conned into being despicable christofascists, they are easy to con because they are idiotic christofascists.

  How exactly are they getting scammed? Or is “religion” always tied with money and these folk give money to the pastors regularly? What religion are they following again? I mean, it’s definitely not the religion of Jesus with the rich priests and all, lol.

    In churches people regularly give and spend money.

    So get the AI pastor to say “We’re collecting for supplies for casseroles for Food Kitchen X, can you send money to WeirdCashAppY?”

    “Hey church treasurer, sorry to call you so late but I’m in a meeting with the regional staff about the thing. Can you wire an Unusually Large Sum of money to Strange Name, we’re late on that account.”
