Capital assets, resources, funds, wealth, money, principal, investment! Is religon the true thing or are the more gullible being used? Are the modern people, corupted by money and greed, actually teaching you the right thing because they believe it or are they fooling you for the profits? Are the innocent used for a profit?

Of course it's a money making scheme! The Catholic Church has assets in the billions, and don't even get me started on the televangelists! Have you seen the clip where Jan and Paul Crouch are telling people to fork over their grocery money?Shameful!!! Here's the link!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S2kKbRIwLo&search=paul+crouch

Attachment to the world of form through money and possesions creates pain. Though it could be considered a religion, I think it is a religion that is leading away from peace and harmony rather than towards it.

In my religion we dont give contribution tu church....cause we dont have money. And the basic thing one have to learn is to be penny-wise...so, you ge the point...were inocent but wise, not greed.
Anyway, Government funds Church, and Church also has its property.
And as for other thing...life as searching for profit, full of greed and corruption....like a sheep among wolfs...or not :)

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.

Most don't realize that their offerings go to the NCC (National Council of Churches) which gives money to the ACLU which is currently suing to have crosses taken off all buildings in this country.
If they only knew....
