1.　鰯（いわし）の頭も信心から、という。値打ちがないものでも信仰すればありがたい。この格言、からかい半分ながら、無から有を生む宗教の底力を言い表す。ひとたび信じた鰯の頭にあれこれ価値が加われば、信者の喜びはいや増そう

The sardine (the sardine) also the head says from faith, with. Being something which is not worth, if you believe, it is grateful. This proverb, teasing half, latent energy of the religion which bears the possession from nothing is expressed. Once if this value of that joins to the head of the sardine which is believed, it probably will increase the joy of the believer well


2. 金沢市の宗教家（６２）が、自分のＤＮＡ情報を添えた「ご神体」で荒稼ぎし、金沢国税局に約１０億円の所得隠しを指摘された。口内粘液から得たという情報を電子チップに刻み、きれいなガラス柱に張りつけた置物だ

The religion house of Kanazawa city (62), you attached your own DNA information, it made a big hit in speculation with the “object of worship housed,” was pointed out the income hiding of approximately 1,000,000,000 Yen to the Kanazawa national tax bureau. It was obtained from the mucus inside the mouth, it is the ornament which cuts the information that in the electronic tip/chip, can be stuck in the clean glass pillar

3. 病気が治ると称し、原価の約２０倍の１００万円で１１００個売ったという。「教祖様の分身」に治癒の気力をもらった人もいようが、どうにも利ざやが大きい。装いこそ今風でも、商いの手口は古くさい

When the sickness heals, you say that it named, 1100 sold at 1,000,000 Yen of approximately 20 times that prime cost. In the person who receives the vigor of healing “the offshoot of the founder” it will be, but how profit margin is large. Very dressing up, method of trade is antiquated even with modernism

4. 週刊ダイヤモンドの最新号が「新宗教」を特集している。昨今は広く薄く、教祖の本などで明朗に集金する「コンビニ型」が主流らしい。１人から１００万円より、１００人から１万円ずつ。「少数の信者から身ぐるみはがすようなやり方は長続きしない」という

The just published of the weekly diamond has run a special edition “new religion”. These days it is thin widely, collects cheerfully in the book and the like of the founder “[konbini] type” main current seems. From 1 people from 1,000,000 Yen, from 100 people 10,000 Yen at a time. “The body involving, you call the kind of method which is peeled off from the small-numbered believer that it does not last long”,

5. 他方、長続きとは別の魂胆から、宗教の公益性を隠れミノにした税金逃れが後を絶たない。５億円超を追徴されたＤＮＡの主も、課税で優遇される宗教法人の買収に熱心だったと聞く。宗教家は「国を養うロマンのつもりで当局の指摘に従った」そうだ

On the other hand, from another secret design from lasting long, public good characteristic of religion it hides and the tax escaping which is made [mino] does not cut off after. 500,000,000 Yen super the main thing of DNA which is collected in addition, you hear that it was enthusiastic to the purchase of the religion corporate body which is favorably treated with taxation. As for the religion house “you followed the indication of the authorities with intention of the romance which raises the country”, so is

6. 宗教という精神世界で身を立てながら、先端科学を都合よく拝借しては、「いいとこ取り」でひともうけと見られるだけだ。純であるべき信仰の対象を、欲得の能書きでゴテゴテ飾るものではない。鰯の頭に失礼である。

While raising the body in the spiritual world, religion, to be lucky worshiping borrowing doing advanced science, “it is and the cousin to take” with just is seen as one profit. Being pure, the object of proper belief, the trowel trowel is decorated it is not something which with the talent writing of desire profit. It is impolite in the head of the sardine.
