Org. Religion vs. Org. Crime

February 1st, 2002

What are the differences?

The mob: Pay us money or we will make you suffer.
The church: Pay us money or you will burn in hell.

The mob: Valentine’s day massacre.
The church: Heard of the inquisition?

The mob: Doesn’t pay tax on their ill-gotten gains.
The church: No tax on buildings, members can deduct “donations.”

The mob: Hierarchical, with respect paid to a godfather.
The church: Hierarchical, with respect paid to god the father.

The mob: Requires unquestioning obedience from its members.
The church: Demands blind faith in its tenets.

Both organizations traditionally have featured prominent Italian men. Both have subsequently opened their doors to other ethnic groups.

Just a little something to think about.
