Heh, cool. Just over 1600 hits so far.

I guess the evangelists won't put their money where their mouth is...

I'll give ya .... *counts* ... $2.73, a Bazooka Joe comic and a rock.

It's funny, but I don't remember putting a rock in my pocket.

I think the biggest problem with your proposal is that it doesn't make economic sense. I could have a temple to my gods built with $100,000. This temple might well win one, two, or more converts to the Religio Romana, and even if it converted no one, it would still be worth more than one skeptical soul. (At least, I assume so.) You overestimate your soul's value.

The only god who might consider this a good deal is Yahweh, and that's only because he has millions of churches already.

Nah,

I care little for the financial impact on the evangelical. I put a price on what it would be worth to me to make the effor to follow any religion that might pay me to.
