Eight killed in Brazil church roof collapse
This church is corrupt as fuck. Their founders were arrested in the US trying to bring money hidden in -- yeah, you guessed it -- Bibles. Didn't make a dent in the suckers' congregation's faith. They say the pastors were "persecuted." :eyes: My guess is, they bribed state officials to give the green flag for a building that was not up to snuff. Cue the "But they're not REAL Christians!" wails. You know, the No True Scotsman fallacy has gotten old. Even older than Straw Man and False Dichotomy.

(CNN) -- Brazilian firefighters called off their search for survivors Monday, one day after a church roof collapse in Sao Paulo killed at least eight people and injured more than 100 others.
Firefighters work early Monday at the site of a church roof collapse in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

All those listed as missing have been located, and officials said they believe they will not find any more victims, BandNews FM said on its Web site, citing Ronaldo Marzagao, Sao Paulo's assistant secretary of public security.

On its Web site, the public relations firm handling communications for the church, Brickmann & Associados Comunicacao, listed the names of eight fatalities and more than 100 parishioners being treated at 15 hospitals.

The youngest fatality was 15 years old; the oldest was 80, the agency said.
