Religion- 3

Do Las Vegas (the Gambling Capital) Churches accept gambling chips? This may come as a surprise to those of you who are not used to the ways of religion. Believe me, there are more churches than casinos in LA. Not surprisingly, some worshipers in Sunday services give casino chips rather than cash as offerings when the basket is passed. Since these churches get chips from many different casinos, they have devised a method to cash them. These churches send all the collected casino chips to a nearby monastery for sorting and then the chips are taken to the respective casinos (of origin) to cash in. This is done by the chip- priests, as they are called. You never thought this could ever happen, right?

  Thomas Mathew Paravaneth This is a sort of custom which is acquired due to the surrounding mushroomed gambling institutions. Now a days in here Kerala, we may hear the auction of Rum bottles and Whisky bottles in temples to make money. Man becomes more practical now a days than experiencing what is church and what is temple.

  Prof. Alex Odikandathil Ph.D. Thanks to the triumvirate, above. Yea, most likely they will start selling alcohol from the churches to make more money and it is easy to do so since many churches already have government approved distilleries to produce wine. They will then start bottoms up/ pole dance, if not nude dance, to attract new members to fill its coffers...
