A medieval mystery play: "Your faith or your money."
Unquestionably, everything cost money these days and dealing with your religious beliefs is no different. There has to be a profit margin in everything happening in America. It is called “capitalism!” and it is constitutional.
Act one: Rev. Terry Jones, pastor of *Dove World Outreach Center located in Gainesville, Florida has been informed if he proceeds with his much publicized burning of Muslin Korans, he will have to pay for the privilege. There will be a fine. It will cost him money. The good Rev. Jones vows the burning will take place on 9/11/10 regardless the consequences.
Act two: The bank has called the churchs’ mortgage of $140,000 for immediate payment and the churchs' insurance company has waved it “Bye-bye!”
Enter parishioners: I am mindful of the time when Billy Graham or Pat Robinson pleaded with his parishioners for one million dollars fearing God was going to fulfill His threat of doing something bad to him if he did not come up with the money.
Additionally, When a church in Washington, D.C. wanted to raise money for a newly built church to be located in nearby Maryland, the pastor asked his congregation to mortgage their homes and re-finance their automobiles to make contributions to the church building fund. It is my understanding the newly built church is free and clear of debt.
Act three: Rev. Jones has two choices to ponder from my scenarios alone. I wish him many more choices but above all, I wish him and his congregation well.
Finale: To be continued throughout the ages. (I note other civilized countries continue creating history as we Americans continue re-creating it)
As always,

*Fire Department Blocks Florida Church's Plan To Burn Korans

Excerpt:
Prince says that if the church makes good on its promise, it cold be hit with a fine. >BR>
And
"RBC Bank called in our mortgage with a limited time to pay it off," the church wrote in the email pronouncing its intention to go ahead with the book burning. "Now Cottons All-lines Insurance has also canceled our commercial insurance on our property putting our mortgage in immediate default. We need to raise the $140,000 to pay off the RBC loan immediately."
