  1. Aren’t they all fake? After all, their God is make believe.

  2. Omg! I used to love this place when I was in college in Sacramento. Their menudo was an amazing pick me up when you had a hangover. Bummer the employees were being cheated out of money.

  3. What's the name of the restaurant, so I can avoid it.

  4. I'm sure all those little right wing popular youtubers will surely be making videos condemning this restaurant.

  5. Father Guido Sarducci, is that you?

  6. Haha California…

  7. 'Fake priest" is as redundant as can be.

  8. USA is the abode of the father of lies! Everything is fake there, starting with smiles. 🙂

  16. Employers under paying and treating thier staff like subhuman is unfortunately not uncommon

  17. Things have gotten so bad you can't even trust a fake priest anymore.

  18. A priest is a sick person listening to confessions. He cant forgive you. Only God can. CALL NO MAN FATHER.

  19. Restaurant should be closed down!!! Town should boycott, crazy owners 😮

  20. Great time to start acting like the Demon Girl from "The Exorcist".

  22. I can care less if my boss is spying because im doing what im supposed to do….IF I MAKE IT A TV SHOW CALLED UNDERCOVER BOSS IT'S COOL? GO SIT DOWN AND ZIP IT

  23. during Soviet Union era,
    the Soviet government significantly curbed the rule of law,civil liberties, protection of law and guarantees of property,which were considered as examples of "bourgeois morality" by Soviet law theorists such as Andrey Vyshinsky According to Vladimir Lenin, the purpose of socialist courts was not to eliminate terror but to substantiate it and legitimize it in principle".Propaganda poster in Petrograd 1918: "Death to the Bourgeoisie and its lapdogs – Long live the Red Terror"
    Among the victims of the Red Terror were aristocrats tsarists, liberals, non-Bolshevik socialists, anarchists, members of the clergy, ordinary criminals, counter-revolutionaries, and other political dissidents, Later industrial workers who failed to meet production quotas were also targeted..

  24. OMG! unbelievable……

  26. being religious makes you stupid, and gullible.

  27. Priests: and confessions. Anything links to the church is bad-and ppl r that dumb to confessed? 😂 are these ppl deserved it? Yup-dumb is what dumb gets!

  28. I’m so opportune that irrespective of the economy crisis and financial conditions I am still able to earn $19,500 returns from my initial $6,500 every 10 days. Crypto investment is really profitable…

  29. A real priest would have molested the workers' children.

  30. 👍.I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $72,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $10,000. I need guidance on what investments to make.
