When I was in graduate school, I used to call the 700 Club's prayer hotline and talk about my dissertation. To their credit, those people were remarkably patient and would only occasionally attempt to steer the conversation back in the direction of Jesus and his need to have some of my money. "Oh, I don't have any money. Anyway, it turns out that there's a perfect correlation between the giving of dowries and engagement in plow-based agriculture." Completely true but for some reason they didn't really care.

I want to hear more about relationships in plow-based agriculture.

First you pay the dowry, then you get to plow

You're thinking of brideprice, which is basically the opposite of dowry.

Have you heard about our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, and his need of your money?

I do love the idea of educating scammy christians while they're doing scammy shit.

This would be a great way to learn how to debate as well. The phone people wouldn't know what hit them.
