Rich pastors and poor church members

[jayyen]

Now,pastors specialize in draining every penny of their members in a professional way that one will hardly notice.They used sugar coated miracle quotes on their members,some could hardly afford three square meals yet give the little to make  these pastor filthy rich.I wish there could be restrictions to the establishment of some churches.It is becoming a menace.Now ,in the name of miracles,pastors even put their feets on pregnant women abdomen and be stepping on it.People graze ,others drink petrol etc under the direction of these pastors or should I say  their gods.Some people are also not thinking right at all.When they hear the name God then their thinking cap drains off and they are ready to do anything stupid.

Religion and business is always a problem. For sure, people are afraid to frighten God. The thing is that religion as we know it now has nothing to do with God. It is a man-made stuff and thus good for profit. I know people who have become pastor just to earn a decent life or to make extra money. Some even in developing countries quit their job to become pastors. Of course, the goal is to make more cash and be happy. Unfortunately, people do not notice this. They really believe in their guru. Spiritual leaders are somehow manipulators. In that case, they definitely can be richer than church members. They just swallow everything. Mostly money)))

Starting your own religion is a great way to earn money religion earn billions of dollar they pay no tax and they still want more. Church member don't realize that God dosen't need money and the money they give to church goes all to the leaders.

Religion is an instrument of enslavement. A lot of people are so dogmatic than those idols worshippers. Even if those pastors are hypnotising them once you remove  reasoning from religion it has became dead. I don't blame any pastor who is making billion from his business ventures, I blame the gullible follower's who can't read the scripture on their own and digest it.

It is horrible when religion is used to get rich, but it is far to common. People are willing to do a lot of things, when they think God told them to do it. That the trick that so many religious leaders use to get gain. In the Bible, it talks about giving 10 percent of what you make to God. I don't think that that means it should all go into one man's pockets. Sometimes I see religious leaders wearing expensive watches, riding in private jets or driving expensive cars. For me, that's an automatic huge red flag that there's probably something fishy going on.

There has always been a lot of corrupt people in positions of power.  Religion is no different.  Most religions teach generosity but most of these Pastors and TV evangelists are only there to take money from their followers.

I think the world wil be better without religion and as Karl Max said, religion is just the opium of the massses
