Well, that's what a church in Minnesota thinks anyway. They are offering bribes to parishioners to get them in the pews on Easter Sunday. Those in attendance have a chance to win a 3D television or a new Nintendo 3DS gaming system . (HuffingtonPost.com)
Finding God through 3D. What a concept. The pastor, Eric Dykstra, says he has "no problem bribing people with crap in order to meet Christ." But one would think, on this most holy day, that a church would be more into finding God through less sinful manners.
Even the bible tells us so:
Exodus 23:8
And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.
Proverbs 17:8
A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers.
(OpenBible.info)
Ahh, that explains it. The one offering the bribe shall prosper. This church is expecting 5,000 people on Easter Sunday. Start that good ol' collection plate around and Dykstra is sure to get a good return on his investment.
