Looney Rooney, And He Ain’t the Only One

I have no idea if Andy Rooney has any belief in the Judeo-Christian representation of who God is, but he evidently has bought into the fallacy that individuals who profess to believe in God aren’t supposed to make any money.  Why do I state this?  Because of this statement of Rooney’s from his commentary As God Told Me…

My question to Mel Gibson is: “How many million dollars does it look as if you’re going to make off the crucifixion of Christ?”

Oooh, that’ll skewer him, won’t it Andy?

I think that Rooney’s question is possibly related to the rich man through the eye of a camel parable in the New Testament.  I don’t know this for certain, but it’s a sound bet.  If the catalyst for Rooney’s “skewering” question is not the parable mentioned, it could then very well be that Rooney has bought the whole altruistic fallacy propounded by both Socialism and Christianity.  If this is so, he is then as much a thaumaturge as Stalin, Lenin, Marx, the Pope and the other Bible thumpers who propound sacrificing all you have for everyone else.  Wouldn’t that then make us all gods?

I wonder how much money Andy Rooney and CBS are making off of interviewing Gibson via paid commercial advertisers and the four advertisement links for religious movies or what have you at the link above.
