I do have to agree with part of this. According to the Bible, Jesus did not teach about giving money to a church, as a matter of fact, he was against a church/religion being formed around him. The church is in it for money, not to help people. Im not talking about all the priests and shit, because there are some priests who are really in it to help people, but the basis of the church itself is money. I mean, do you really need buildings worth millions of dollars to worship what you believe in? The Vatican is not only its own city, but it is its own country, and it is worth billions. As a show I was watching last night stated, "for ever dollar given to charity, 90 cents goes into someones pocket." The church is a great example of that. If instead of building million dollar churches and spending millions on sending satelites into space to spread their "truth", they could be spending that money on actually helping people that are in need. Christianity is the worlds largest money maker.

They teach, believe in God. If you do believe in God, give him your money. If you dont give him your money then you are a bad person. If you are a bad person you go to Hell where you will be tormented for eternity. If you dont believe in God/Jesus you are a bad person and you will be tormented eternally. Those are the basics of the Christian church. The basiscs of the Bible are be good to one another and give to those less fortunate. Very few Christians are able to realize that.
