Hey, kids...Let's find a NEW religion for the Mafia!

Now that they've all been excommunicated from the Catholic Church, the world's organized crime families need someplace new to go for spiritual guidance and bingo night.

Let's offer our-Mafiosi-in-need some new options for the sudden metaphysical emptiness they're faced with...religions that will welcome crime bosses, hitmen and mob lawyers a theology that meets THEIR needs!

After all...they've got a lot of cash to put in somebody's collection plate...as long as there aren't too many questions about where it came from.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
