According to the bible coveting your neighbour’s livestock is a definite no no,
However, for the spiritual leaders of the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit Atlanta, Georgia, shagging the arse off your sister in law is not only LOVELY JUBLEY it is to be encouraged.

The 80-year-old patriarch of an American “mega-church” has scandalised his flock by admitting that he has fathered a child with his brother’s wife.
The family of Earl Paulk, the self-styled “archbishop” of the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, made the startling revelation from the pulpit of the independent church outside
The news – established by a court-ordered paternity test – that it wasn’t Don Paulk but brother Earl who begat D.E. Paulk, 34, the church’s current head pastor, is not the first sexual scandal to engulf the church and its founder.
The archbishop, his brother and the church are being sued by Mona Brewer, a former church employee, who claims Earl manipulated her into having a 14-year affair by telling her it was her only path to salvation.
Seven other women in the church have also claimed they were pressured into having sex with Earl Paulk or other members of the administration.
The Paulks sued them but later dropped the action.
Earl Paulk came clean about the Brewer affair to his church members in January.
However, a judge ordered a paternity test on D.E. Paulk after the archbishop claimed under oath that Miss Brewer was the only woman with whom he had had sex outside marriage.
D.E. Paulk said he had no idea that Uncle Earl was actually his father until the results arrived from the paternity test.
He said: “I was disappointed and I was surprised.
"I am so very sorry for the collateral damage it’s caused our family and the families hurt by the removing of the veil that hid our humanity and our sinfulness.”
He described the paternity test as a “necessary evil to bring us back to a God consciousness”.
The flashy mega-church was created in 1960 and grew from just a few dozen members to around 10,000 at its peak in early 1990s.
The church earned a reputation as socially progressive, admitting blacks in the 1960s and ordaining women.
By collecting tithes of 10 per cent from each member’s income, the church was able to build a Bible college, two schools, a worldwide television ministry and an enormous £6 million sanctuary.
The elder Paulks’ alleged sexual transgressions have been blamed for a downturn in the church’s fortunes and a membership that has shrunk to 1,500.
I wonder why that might be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
