We all know that fundraising enterprises charge huge administrative fees and often only a miniscule portion of the money actually goes to the intended purpose.
Trillions of dollars are donated to churches.
If God actually got that money himself, all of it, what would he do with it?

Keneth Copeland has a 6 Million dollar home, a private airport, and a 20 Million dollar Jet.
If God really does speak through him, I think the playboy mansion is the way he would go.
The thing that most Christians choose to ignore is the power of numbers.
There are 2.1 Billion Christians in the world. Each of them gives offerings or tithes weekly. If only $1 per person actually went towards helping the hungry, there would be an additional $109Billion per year to combat world hunger.
That is larger than all but 23 of the worlds countries production and yearly wealth.
Christian giving DOES NOT GO TO CHARITY, the numbers prove it. So where does it go.
Tax free acquisition of real estate, and member services. Unless there is a stockpile of money hidden somewhere?
In reality Churches operate just like country clubs, the difference is that they don't pay taxes, and provide less per captita to charity than country clubs do.
My Golf club held 26 charitable events last year raising 3000-5000 that went directly to charity at each event. We raised over 100,000 that went to the community and special causes like Multiple Sclerosis and Local Children's Hospitals. Imagine what would happen if even 1/3 of the Churches actually came close to doing the same?
They just don't.

i think hed have one hell of a time trying to pry the money away from the churches. You know as well as i that they dont do anything godly with the money, they pay off molestation cases, buy fleets of mercedes, million dollar homes, cruises, private jets, diamonds, and other physical luxuries. They would probabaly kick jesus out on the street as a pauper and tell him to go to a homeless shelter before setting a foot into their beautiful, emaculate, gold ridden church

first off what makes you think God can't just take it if he wants it? beyond that your question is really ignorant and ridiculous
