Religious leaders and money

Lately, there have been many reports of cases of police investigations into the financial affairs of religious leaders in Singapore.  This has set me thinking.  What's the difference between a scam and my religion?

A scam promises me huge rewards after.................. many many months.  I'm sure it's a scam because after many months or even years, I don't see the rewards.

Religion promises me huge rewards after.................. I'm dead.


Isn't religion simply ingenious?
