Answer 1

Scammers will always gravitate to the feeble minded, weak willed and morally depressed people. It's easier to separate them from their wallets.... It's got nothing to do with the merits of their religion, no matter how distorted in reality they are in the first place.

Answer 2

Apparently you know very 'few' religious leaders. Those that God has called (and that's the important word, 'called') devout their lives to serving God and the people. Most have wonderful families, are good mothers and fathers and mates. Few are rich, and most have only God's power - not man's. They give their lives in making others comfortable and see that the poor is fed and clothed. They hold those thats others never touch, and listen to those that most people have 'signed off'. I'm sorry you haven't met these godly people.... You are really missing out! Maybe you should volunteer on a (VIM = Volunteers In Mission) and work along side these leaders who bring comfort and love to so many. You watch far to much TV. I challenge you to roll up your sleeves and go help the homeless, feed the poor, counsel those who've lost loved ones in a flood, sit by a poor soul in a hospital bed for hours.... comfort a young couple who just lost their baby...... These are the 'called' of God. Look up!

Answer 3

It is merely proof that greed is a sin or "a troublesome" way of life.

Religious leaders, especially those in the less mindful religions (that ignore the benefits of strengthening the mind through meditation, such as Christianity), cannot practice what they preach because their religion has no "how to" section, it just says "do it."

Well, that's easy to say, I mean, I can tell a smoker to just quit but it's never that easy (it is and it isn't).

You will see few Buddhist monks pissing away money and living off power. They practice the art and understand money and power for what it is. They observe it and can understand it while other religious leaders (not all) LIVE it.

Answer 4

You are only saying that because the ones that are truly the least Christian or religiously founded are usually the loudest and most highly visual ones. The ones that are truly religious or Christian do not have the need for all of that, nor do they feed on outward manifestations of power. All of the accolades they seek come from God and do not rest on the dictates of man.

Answer 5

Power corrupts.
Religion creates the opportunity for corruption behind a veil.
Most religious leaders know that what they actually preach is false.

Answer 6

Biology is more important than intelligence and morals. Humans does not matter how you dress them, they still act just like the animals they are.

Money is transportable/transferable energy and every animal needs energy to live, food.

Answer 7

God's going to have a field day with those in the end. Their reward is here on earth in what they steal and cheat honest hard working people and widows and old folks out of.

Answer 8

only those from america do this because the original church(ortodox and catholic )is verry moral and serious even verry exigent concerning the life(family

Answer 9

What are you talking about? That IS the point of being a religious leader.
As Pope Leo the XI'th said "those with the smallest minds are the easiest to fill with faith".

Answer 10

Not ALL of the most well-known religious leaders do that. Consider Rev. Billy Graham. And the majority of lesser known ministers are in it for the Lord. Please don't generalize.
