Quote: I hate people. and I hate organized religion. seriously how does that come about? How do you convince an elderly women to be on a grand a month payment plan to a church just for the hell of it? Do people have absolutely no moral qualms whatsoever?
You'll really hate me then 
I did this for two years......and fuck didn't even work for a church......
I worked for a pile of shit, evil corporation caled INFOCISION........
Every October ( you can check it out on tv ) the inspiration channel......well it runs it's "Plant a seed" donation run.
They tell you on this program, that october is gods time to plan out the rest of your year...and if you donate a seed to help spread the word of god ( seed means 1000 dollars ) then your year will get planned out accordingly.
I used to answer the phone like this:
"Hi, this is _________ did you do the prayer dance with david cerello?"
"Yes"
"Great, now as you know, this is gods time to plan out the rest of your year, and he will of course be more willing, to let you have fortune and great gifts for your friends and family, if you can help spread the word of god, by donating a 1000 dollar seed today"
"1000????"
"You do want god to plan your year accordingly don't you?"
"Can I make it in installments?"
"Oh of course, we can take your credit card number, and deduct 100 every month from your bank account"
"But I'm on social security and thats it"
"Well then we will only take 50 out for 20 months then, but remember ma'am/sir, october comes every 12 months"
"Well I don't have a credit card"
Obviously at this point the lady or guy realizes it's a terrible mistake, and wants to back out......you can't lose a sale at this point......you're getting commission bitch!
"What we will do then is send you out 20 envelopes, with a huge INSPIRATION stamp on it......then you can send us the money as you see fit...........BUT REMEMBER TO GET THE CHECKS IN THE MAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, TO BEGIN REAPING ALL OF GODS BENEFITS."

We literally had to tell these people they would not get help from god until their entire "seed" was "planted"
This is just one of the many evil evil evil things I did at that telemarketing job.
We used to sell 25,000 tickets to dinner with president bush.......500 dollars to get your name in the wallstreet journal.......I found out that old white guy on the infomercials...
....you know.....the one telling you about the dying africans.....and the train goes in front of him really quick......
Ya 80% of their funds go to "administrative costs" which means....People are getting paid......
the other 20% goes to helping build things that would help their community............like railroad tracks........
All of this is 100% fact.
Talk about having no soul for a couple years, and beginning to wonder if anyone really does......
