Bishop was robbed of a 400K piece of jewelry. I would ask if anything is sacred anymore, but we all know the answer to that...

If the bishop had a 400k piece of jewelry, I'm rooting for the robber.

How many homeless and hungry people could he have helped with that 400k? Seems he's forgotten what he's been teaching.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a little too suspicious?

Let's face it - this guy is no Billy Graham....

I guess Jesus decided a 400k piece of jewelry in "HIS NAME" was a grift too far.

If you want to be both flashy and sane, get replicas made of your high-priced jewelry.

A target is a person who wears flashy, expensive things.

He'd have to bump those rookie numbers up and fleece a lot more followers to approach Graham's millions.

Why? I'll bet your home is worth more than 400K. Would you root for a title thief signing it over to himself? Or how about that high dollar vehicle you drive? Would you root for a car thief ripping it off... presumably because he's had a rough childhood and you are a "fat cat"?

The Robin Hood sentiment is a slippery slope. Who decides where the cutoff point for "excess" is? If I'm flat broke living in the gutter, a twenty dollar bill in your pocket makes you a "rich man" target. Would someone like you root for me if I took that twenty dollar bill from you?
