There were 2 wealthy brothers who owned pretty much all of a small town.
Problem was that most of their wealth was ill-gotten dishonest gain from all the townspeople. To say the least they were not liked at all.
One day one of the brothers die.
The other living brother sets up the funeral process and goes to the only church in town and say's to the pastor, "Look, you know my brother and I were not above board and illegally ripped off this town and we hardly attended your church. But I need you to say in my brother's eulogy that he was a saint ! The pastor refused but the brother kept insisting and then threw the pastor a potential bone by telling him that he noticed that his church was raising $ for the church building fund and he would provide the rest of the $$ what was needed for their goal IF only the pastor would say that his brother was a saint. The pastor thought about it a long time and then said Okay !!
The day of the funeral arrives and the pastor begins the eulogy and does just the opposite of what he agreed with the brother telling the whole town how this deceased brother was so corrupt, adulterous, mentioning every transgression and sin this deceased brother committed in his life. The living brother was just taken back and couldn't believe what the pastor was doing and began motioning to the pastor off to the side, to cut it off !! The pastor did and ended with this last statement.
"But compared to his living brother this guy was a saint !!!
