We'd attend John Oliver's church.

Keep on trollin', John Oliver.

On Sunday, HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver focused on televangelists, and all the cash those "preachers" rake in while exposing the flexibility of tax laws in the United States that make those scams possible.

To illustrate his point, Oliver founded his own church called Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption.

His attorney advised him to register the church in Texas, which he did with no trouble at all. That's right, he had an attorney walk him through the entire process so he could be legit.

Enjoy.
