One word. Marketing

There is no money in Aethism (should I be
giving a credit for that quote since I read
it in the SecWeb lib?)

What's wrong with concrete? I mean, if God can pack several million species into a single boat, magically perform hydraulic sorting of fossils, and scatter remaining lifeforms all over the globe with no food or means of transport, then why can't God also make concrete float?

Oh, ye of little faith....

Actually, they made concrete (supply) ships in WWI and WWII. There's one sunk, but partly visible, just off the Bolivar Ferry in Galveston Bay.

Interesting to note how Christians view that
whole subject, as evidenced by a quick discussion
with my neighbor the other night over the whole tithing
question (they'd just done a class on "Biblical
Financial Management"). Fortunately before I'd
had too many beers..... "It's all God's money
anyway".

Right.

Why does God need money?
