Religion on the whole is humanity's greatest hindrance to real progress .
Instead of labelling and teaching kids about brother killing brother and all kinds of sick teachings from birth why not open their minds to real progressive ideas?
My first experience with murder jealousy genocide and bloodshed was sunday school..
What a depressing and negative way to start life..
blood blood blood and sacrifice..
Pure witchcraft..

My friend, religion is the reason we have civilization. Maybe you prefer to live like barbaric hunter gatherer tribes.

$7m govt subvention for church raided by police
30 Minutes Ago Kalifa Sarah Clyne
The Transformed Life Ministry in Arouca, which is at the centre of a dramatic rescue by police this morning, received approximately $7.4 million from the State between 2010 and 2015.
The last cheque payment was dated August 6, 2015.
The State gave the church the money as part of a subvention to NGOs. A subvention is funds provided to an NGO to assist in the operation of a particular social development programme.
An official from the NGO unit at the Ministry of Social Development, said all NGOs must meet specific criteria in order to access subventions. This includes being in existence for at least a year, being registered with the Registrar General for over year. The NGO must also meet 40 per cent of its operating cost.

The official said the NGO must also have a dedicated bank account. must provide previous years external audit and list current executive board members.
The official said the ministry has a mandate to look after the vulnerable, which includes the socially displaced, those in poverty and the elderly. The official could not answer whether Transformed Life Ministry met these criteria and referred all questions to the Social Development Ministry Permanent Secretary Jacintha Bailey-Sobers.
Bailey-Sobers' office line was busy when Newsday attempted multiple calls. The church, which is also known as a rehabilitation centre was also before Parliament's joint select committee on social services in June 2016, represented by a pastor and two other people. At that committee, the pastor spoke of working with socially displaced people who they took off the streets.
"I do what you call the assessment, take the by me, assess them with every sickness, every disease, make sure they get medication for them, make sure the come back to their status, the majority of them are suffering with mental illness," the pastor said.
At 1 am today, heavily armed police raided the church and rescued 69 people who were found locked up in cages on the compound. Some of the captives were stark naked. Many were elderly and appeared frail. The police also found and seized handcuffs, batons and Tasers. Six people including a pastor, were arrested and investigations are ongoing.
