They're grifting grifters. I see no problem.

How are people donating their own money grifters?

[-] Syrc@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

They wanted those kids to go at a concert and “spread the gospel” to people who paid to be there. Not sure about you, but I know I wouldn’t take that well.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Sure, but that's not a grift.

[-] Syrc@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Whoops, you’re right, my bad. I’m not a native speaker and mixed “grifter” with “griefer”.

[-] TheLoneMinon@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

The Baptist church is the grift. As is the majority of modern organized religion.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Okay sure, but by taking their money, that's just doing the same thing the church is criticized for, taking money under false pretenses.

Grifting the grifters would be defrauding the church, not the congregation.
