You need to stick a question mark at the end of these rants or the Yahoo thought police will send you a violation notice and delete your question.

The money that this Christian religions are asking from their congregations is for the continues maintenance of their organization. In the material world we live in, it is impossible for any religious organization to stay alive. Without money, no matter how sincere and honest they are with their mission, no religion will thrive. They are not scam in the real sense, people are happily volunteering their dues and many among them believed that they are receiving indulgences from their actions.
On the part of the Muslims, it is required that they make their "sakat" yearly. A ten percent of their annual earnings. What them rich however is not necessarily their Sakat but rather their oil business that supply almost entirely the whole world.

I think anyone religious or not has the ability to be a bigot or a hypocrite. I also believe we cannot let a few bad apples form our opinion of and religion as a whole. Yes there are alot of people and so called churches that exploit peoples faith for monetary gain and it is sad. You do not have to be an atheist to avoid this though. You can believe in something without paying for it . You do not have to go to mass ,service, temple to have beliefs. Your faith is between you and what or whom you have faith in. With so many things being misconstrued for personal gain I find it better to be free thinking and taking a little bit of wisdom from others beliefs, regardless of if they are different from my own ! It all boils down to one love and acceptance of your fellow human beings.

Christianity may be the biggest religion according to people's view on their own religion, but I bet each christian would discount about half the other christians as non-christian for belonging to a "wrong" denomination.

Biggest (Christianity) = Bigot
Scientology = Greedy
There's a difference

If you take the electric bill and donating money to the poor and charity, I'd say that's pretty good for a non-profit organization.

Be careful when you take a shot at the bride of Christ, because the bridegroom is quite powerful and is going to strike back!

Anyone who calls every Christian on earth a hypocrite and money grubber hasn't got a whole lot of room to talk about other people.
You should be ashamed of your own bigotry.

maybe your right... who knows... It is upsetting to think that one of the largest religious followings could really be one big scam. I guess we will all find out someday.
