Make sure you get a private plane too
Pure mental illness!
Copeland lives on a private lake east of Fort Worth has three private biz jets, and a three thousand five hundred foot runway and hangers. His house is over six thousand sqft. His private chapel could house over two thousand homeless, if he knew they existed!
Who said religious BS does make one rich!
I've alwAys wanted to open one as an art center. Or rather have an art center in a church building. I'd call it the church of creation . The name might be misleading.

I've seen too many store front churches go belly up to assume starting a church is a sure fire way to wealth.

That's one way to get rich, but at what cost? I don't think my conscience could stand taking advantage of so many gullible people.

@Antidronefreeman Well, yes, developing greater math and technology skills than others, it is only right that you use your knowledge and skill to do work for them that they can't do for themselves.
It's a different matter entirely to intentionally deceive people into believing a bunch of nonsense. I could not be so deceptive and live happily.
@Antidronefreeman I maintain that there is a big difference between an honest business and deceiving people out of their money.
@Antidronefreeman I disagree. One can get people to "agree" by using deception. That is not an honest business. Agreement implies understanding. If people understand that I'm deceiving them, and they want it anyway, fine. But it is dishonest to teach what I know to be mythology as if it were reality.
A church is a profit making business just like any other. But it does not have to manufacture any product, does not have to deliver until after the customer is dead, so no returns. And the other customers (congregation) do most of the marketing, and P.R. plus raise nearly all of the finances, without expecting any return on their shares. Wow, that is some business plan !

L. Ron Hubbard is a perfect example.

Yup. Joked about it, then went and did it. A bit like Trump becoming president.
"You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion."
It has certainly worked out well for others.
