You don't have to be a believer to do well, you just have to be a good salesman.

Bill Clinton would have been a good one.

Yes. Because I don't believe in even a quarter of the shit I am pitching in business meetings now.

Religion is pretty easy, since the people that follow it want to follow it,.. so, you just tell them what they want (or in their mind's) need to hear.

You don't have to believe in it. You just have to convince other people you do so.

Lets say for a million $$$$$ a year, will you fake being a religious preacher? Assume you can be a great showman.

No need being fake.

All you need is the Bible and no degree is needed.

Sometimes I feel degrees are needed because todays fake pastors say you can put your hands on the TV and your dead loved one will rise from the dead.

Or take Mr. Hinn. His brother steals from the church all the time and uses the money as his own.

Who is the #1 fake pastor of all time? Joel Osteen of course.
A feel good church that hardly mentions being saved.

But who proudly proclaims being fake and makes tons of money doing it?

THE CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS. Rev. Ivan Stang. PRAISE BOB!

First off, only if I truly believed in my preaching and that it was benefiting people. That means my not being motivated by my desire to make a buck.

The poll is an abomination.

I considered being a pastor years ago, and had an offer to youth pastor a local church. For a million a year I would definitely consider switching careers. I have most of the educational background already.

Plenty of bible quotes about money, any preacher who gets paid a million $ a year isn't reaally religious.

So to answer the OP. Damm straight I will lie to people for money. Pretty much what I do for a living now anyway.

I didn't read any of the responses. In addition to getting paid, do I get to pretty much have a harem of wives, too like those cult religions?

Count me in, either way.
