Yesterday somebody told me that there are only three essential requirements for a cult: Money, Men and Manipulation.
My first thought was that this was a wonderful use of alliteration. In how many other ways, I wondered, could the same thought be expressed?
Let’s start with the letter A. The three essential requirements then become Assets, Assholes and Appropriation.
Moving up through the alphabet, the three requirements are Bounty, Bros and Banditry.
We then get to Cash, Cads and Corruption. Followed closely by Dinero, Dudes and Defrauding.
It’s a fun game to play. How many letters of the alphabet can you use to express the same idea?
Maybe something to try in your church group.
