LOUISIANA TELEVANGELIST SEEKS DONATIONS FOR $54 MILLION PRIVATE JET

[Zorro]

A Louisiana televangelist asked followers to donate money for a $54 million private jet that will “go anywhere in the world in one stop.”

Jesse Duplantis, 68, a Christian minister based in Destrehan, Louisiana, about 25 miles east of New Orleans, made the appeal in a video posted last week on his ministry’s website, reported the Times Picayune on Monday.

"I really believe that if the Lord Jesus Christ was physically on the Earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey," Duplantis said in the video. "He'd be in an airplane flying all over the world."

He claimed his Jesse Duplantis Ministry had paid cash for three private jets and had been "just burning them up for the Lord Jesus Christ."

6. Tax 'em! The bible business is booming and luxury items like a

private jet should be subject to taxes just like any other company purchase.

7. There are no words.

I don't allow the "most religions are innocuous and provide charity-blah blah blah" anymore. This is one reason why.
