You know, the one who preordains riches and a punched ticket to heaven for a few people and misery for the rest because they are cursed before birth and the only way they can get out of hell is pretty much to buy their way out by sending money to, you guessed it, the pompadoured frauds who push this shit.

Sorry about your son. Was it a girlfriend/wife who stuck the hooks in him? I've seen that one happen both ways.
