More than 300 people bought INDXcoin, a cryptocurrency created by the pastor and marketed through his online church, which was deemed "illiquid and practically worthless."

          Any belief in a magic man in the sky is literal crazy.

              If I told you that I believe that humanity was created as an experiment by an alien race of clouds who communicate with us through the rain, and they tell me who to vote for and who to hate, you’d think it I was batshit to blame it on the rain.

                  I’d say that because we are human, we have the capacity to distinguish fiction from reality… well, most of us who have critical minds can.

          I almost totally agree about what you say, unless you are being mindcontrolled, if that’s the case you can clearly hear another person voice into your own head. But if you’re not, then you are just nuts and you should be locked into a mental hospital.

              Who told you mindcontrol isn’t real? Google “Stargate project” first and if you have some questions later contact me.

              Spoiler: secret services have decades using that shit, or do you believe the fall of the Soviet Union just happened cos communism it’s predestined to fail?
