religion too competitive ? You know the battle for the bucks.

I wonder Why? When I post this type of question don't the believers come out to defend their system. I guess it is easier to just ignore the facts.

The global religions with all of their sects now total 1500 different ones. They receive $3 billion a year in tax-free donations and are going for $4 bil. They know that all they have to do is point to a cloud. What a business.

Church isn't church any more - it's a business. As an atheist it's not cash out of my wallet, but the tax breaks they see without having to quantify that money's use angers me like you would not believe. They are not-for-profits with fringe benefits and none of the responsibilities.
To those who attend, though, they have put a price tag on the message they're receiving and making faith a parody of itself, which I find comical. I didn't think a believer could put a price tag on their soul, or the concept of their own redemption, but maybe you can?

Not the battle for the Bucks, but for the Souls.

Very true. However I find humor in the fact that everybody keeps saying that there is only one way to get into heaven. That means that at the very minimum 70% of all people are going to hell!!!
