Christianity is the largest. :)

All religions have their hypocrisies and conflicting information. All religions require some sort of tithes from their member not just the one’s you’ve listed.

You are entitled to your opinion but....before you start calling other people hypocrites I'd suggest you do some research into these other belief systems before you judge others. Or better yet, look at islam, you may be surprised to find out that they are equally hypocritical. It's important that you keep in mind that not everyone falls under being hypocritical. ANd just so you're clear on the word you used, hypocrites are defined as:
1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements
So be careful with the words you use.
In my opinion there are faults within all organized religions not because that's they way it was intended but because of public interpretation. Religious beliefs are a personal choice.

I am not sure about the others you mention. The catholic church though would have needed many hand outs to get the vatican built and to maintain it to this day along with all the various people who live there. If thats what the worshippers want then that is up to them. I think that turning a blind eye to AIDS prevention is another thing.

If you are not a Christian, how do you know?? You evidently offer no support, don't attend, don't watch or listen to Christian programing so, how would you know? If a Christian offers aid to a Christian endeavor, what business is it of yours? Yeah. Maybe they do ask for money. Is that so wrong? How else are bills to be paid? Electric bills, pastors income, insurance, supplies, etc.all have price tags. No one is FORCING them to pay anythingt. Most Christians believe in paying their bills. Do you??

I do not think God created churches with the specific intent to take peoples money. Many churches use offerings collected to pay building or land rent, electric bills, water bills, etc. Any kind of bills they need to pay to get the church open and running.

The same reason we re-elected Bush. The masses are often very ignorant by choice. So, they continue to listen to these preachers and sending in their money because they don't want to question whether or not it's actually true.

Not true in all cases. You must search, watch to find what's real. Remember every thing cost money.You will have to answer for yourself. If there is a scam they will answer.It's not on you.

not true. I am a Christian and do not belong to any church. And the Christians that I know do not abuse women or chop peoples heads off.
