(225 posts)It's becoming too obvious that most religious leaders are only in it for the money. The tax exempt status of their churches and related properties make it the preferred home of many Elmer Gantries fleecing their flocks of gullible people. Many flaunt their wealthy lifestyles living in mansions and traveling in jets all paid for by "tithes" to their church. How many televangelist TV shows are on the air presenting sermons which are really thinly veiled sales promotions begging for money so they can keep the grift going? And they justify this barely legal thievery often preaching the "prosperity gospel" which says being filthy rich is god's way of bestowing blessings on the faithful. And you too can be rich if you just believe and pray harder for those blessings. But above all, send your money to them so they can pray for your prosperity while they really make you more impoverished financially and spiritually.
