By World War II, the church had sizeable investments and created the Vatican Bank in order to hide its financial dealings with the Nazis from the U.S. and Britain."I was surprised to the extent to which the Vatican was deeply embedded with German companies," Posner says. "They bundled together life insurance policies of Jewish refugees who had been sent to Auschwitz and other death camps. They escheated these policies early on ? meaning they took the cash value of them."Later, when the surviving children or grandchildren of the victims tried to collect on the insurance policies, they were refused. "These insurance companies would refuse to pay out saying: 'Show us a death certificate,' which they knew was impossible," Posner explains. "They would keep the money."
I can't disappoint by missing an opportunity to point out another of the ways that the "biggies" meet the criteria of being a "parady" religion.For instance....The Vatican set the world record for paraquatism by profiteering on the Holocaust.http://www.npr.org/2015/01/30/382374060/from-laundering-to-profiteering-a-multitude-of-sins-at-the-vatican-bankQuoteBy World War II, the church had sizeable investments and created the Vatican Bank in order to hide its financial dealings with the Nazis from the U.S. and Britain."I was surprised to the extent to which the Vatican was deeply embedded with German companies," Posner says.

They are just in the business of making others believe it.It's like Lennon said ..... you look at who profits and.....
Christianity started as a Roman cult about a carpenter that chased the money changers out of a temple. Dudeism started as movie about a stoner looking to get compensation for a piss stained rug.I fail to see how one is more or less valid than the other.

Actually the Dude is based on the real Dude, Jeff Dowd, an associate of the Coen Brothers...
...And there is a mention of JC in another document (allegedly), the dead sea scrolls.Though the second is debatable.
