When proressional liars get money and trust http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/california-pastor-stole-the-whole-church/20070212161209990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001 RIPON, Calif. (Feb. 12) - For nearly a decade, members of Ripon's First Congregational Church bared their souls to Pastor Randall Radic. But clearly it didn't work both ways. There were certain things he wasn't telling them.That became obvious a year ago, when Radic pleaded guilty to betraying his flock and secretly selling the church and its rectory out from under them. He used the money to buy himself a brand-new black BMW and a laptop - exploits he later chronicled in a cheeky, almost gleeful blog about his double life as a sinner. "We didn't know anything until we got a call from the bank that he had bought a BMW," said David Prater, who led the church board during Radic's tenure. "He drove that car right down Main Street." Once again, I make my case that most preachers are actually mean-spirited Atheists trying to take money from a flock of gullible fools. There is no way a person who feared Hell would sell a church and keep the money.Yes, there are bad Christians, and there are bad Atheists. Bad Christians will lie and cheat to push their hateful mythology. Bad Atheists, well, it's a pretty good scam to claim to be a preacher just to steal money. http://www.atheists....et_money_and_tr
