Noah Thomas plead guilty to stealing his church’s hurricane Katrina relief funds and has been sentenced to 17 months in prison. Noah’s church, Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church in New Orleans, was completely flooded during the hurricane and unfortunately the church had no flood insurance. Doh!
After all, why on earth would a church built in a city that’s beneath sea level with rivers surrounding it held back by man made levees need flood insurance? Fortunately for the church our federal government stepped in and provided $252,000 in a federal disaster loan. Unfortunately for the church they had a thief for a pastor and he went and bought himself a car and took an additional $35,000 from the fund for play money.
I guess what do you expect when you name your church after land stealing pilgrims! I’m sorry, I’m part Indian and I’m still a little sensitive to all of this, my people suffered greatly. That reminds me, I’ll have to ask my dad who my people are again.

$45,000??? Is that worth going to jail? I say go biggg or go home. You ever been to a Pow-Wow?
That’s way out there. I wonder how he rationalized it in his own head.
What an amount to go to jail and hell. I agree with Emery, how did he “rationalize it on his head.”
