The term Christian means those who follows the steps of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately Christians are following money, instead of Jesus Christ. Infact, this quote by Friedrich Nietzsche will be more suitable to remember in this occasion - "the last Christian died on the Cross". Christianity is a business of power and money i.e. to get power, money is essential and to get money, power is necessary.

So many people get in to something just to make a fast buck. it is nothing new but you never hear any complaints about Tickle me Elmo. The difference is one is a product the other is used as a game.
It is very easy to take advantage of someones religious believes. It is easy for someone to come up with a nice sounding message and used that to play to peoples emotion. Does it make it right? No.
What it does is turn others away from the message because the messenger has twisted the real message to a lie. It is one of the oldest ways to make a money grab.
Does it mean that all who give the message are money grabbers? No. There are many faith full believers that you never hear about that not only preach but live what they preach. That is a true believer.
Do you know the difference?

Man, I have been wondering the same thing. Talk about a major hole in the storyline. The whole thing was a joke. I thought that it would be similar to Wrestlemania 23, with the fued culminating at Summerslam and Vince winning RAW back. It was just brutal. What a waste of time. It was just stupid. It was poorly planned and it didnt't make any sense at all. I was thinking the same thing when I was watching it. The only rational conclusion I could come up with, and even this is stretching it, was that even tough Donald Trump was the new owner of RAW, Vince still owned WWE as a whole, and therefore he would have to bear some of the losses RAW incured. Stupid I know, but that's the best I could come up with.

True Christianity is like the early Christian Church in Acts 2: 44-45; 4: 32-35 practiced it. See http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%202:44-45;%204:32-35;&version=31; This way of life gradually eroded as a result of satanic influences, false teachings, and the pressures created by money and the lure of wealth.

It really hasn't. You only see the few who make it a money making business. Most churches are relatively small...average attendance at a Protestant church across America is less than 100 weekly. These churches have tight budgets, have mostly volunteer workers or bi-vocational pastors, and are involved in worship, fellowship, care-ministry, and things that make a church family cohesive.
They support missionaries, feed the hungry, or help someone in need. No TV cameras, no notoriety...just serving the Lord humbly.

Thanks to the likes of Benny Hinn, Rod Parsley, Jan and Paul Crouch, Bob Tilton, and other TV evangelists, Christianity has become a Sunday morning comedy routine with back up singers. The majority of Christian churches don't beat up the fellowship for money and they don't sell God on a lunch box. A vast number of them are pretty poor.

Anything remotely popular in America has become a money-making business -religion included.

Because it is being used by misfit preachers to line their own pockets. Have you ever seen the palaces these hypocrites live in? We live in an average house which turns out to be bigger than our pastor's house.

IT has always been that .
We now can see for ourselves ,thanks to all the Billion Dollar religious television channels.
You really should tune in , some of them are so funny .
The pastors and ministers go into trances ,and tirades and tears.
The OSCARS should go to some of them .
There is some great acting on them.

Because true Christianity is not found in churches.
