Any of these fools who throw every spare dime they have at these churches are complete fools. Also, you are likely helping pay their mortgage. It is all a racket and the fools keep following.

All the wrong people make too much money. A certain mega church in Monroe calls upon there members to donate their tax refunds to the church, for missions and things like that. And willingly these people do this deed every year, like cattle. Yet they live on the biggest farm in this area with prize winning horses and a mega home? Yeah. His wife lied about curing her own cancer and was sued over it. Stop giving ALL your money to these churches, unless they really give back and you feel you must.

My Pastor says all the time "If people would spend as much time in the 'Faithbook', as they do on Facebook, our church would pull in more money which means more money to me." Did you know the average Pastor makes $70,000 a year according to the US Government? How much do you make for 40 hours of hard work? Figure out how many hours of hard work your Pastor puts in for $70,000 and then decide why he doesn't volunteer his time like Jesus Christ did.

REPORT ABUSE

My Priest says all the time "If people would spend as much time molesting kids, as they do on Facebook, our Church would still forgive them if they were Priests too. We wouldn't even allow the police to intervene because our Catholic Church is above the law. Our followers will still support us and defend the pedophiles."
