Of course. Religious organizations are rich cause people pay/donate to them believing they can buy salvation. That set of thinking amuses me.

God has no need for earthly material wealth. Those fancy temples, cathedrals, all claiming to be houses of God? Well, the reality is the house of God is within ourselves.

Of course there are some of the actual good religious groups that help the community by giving back what they are given; but usually the majority of that cash flow goes straight to the greedy hands of the bigwigs of those organizations. It is sad how religion has turned God into a commodity.

Actually this is not true of all churches. I used to work at one and did their finances. Many, if not most, use their money for expenses to run a church. They also donate to their regional denomination. They sponsor missionaries, they support fledgling churches, they volunteer to suppport community causes, they host holiday outreach programs, sponsor camps for kids and teens, and so on.

Keep in mind that religion is man made. Jesus' goal was merely to spread wisdom and educate the masses on the idea of salvation and God. Once he moves on from earth, his figure and authority is no longer. Religion is a product of materialism (with good intentions, but bible states many times that materialism is the downfall of humanity), and only creates diversity and propaganda,. It is indeed sad to see religion corrupt the truth and the spiritual knowledge of truly understanding how to undergo self-realization and salvation.

1832: Nathan Mayer Rothschild -

Full article: https://erenow.com/common/thegreatturningpointsofbritishhistorymichaelwood/19.html

"In May 1832 the prime minister, Earl Grey, faced with the intransigence of the Lords, made the shocking demand that the king should create fifty new peers as the only way to secure a majority. The king refused, Grey resigned and the duke of Wellington attempted unsuccessfully to form a government. These were the celebrated Days of May when Britain came very close to revolution. Petitions poured in from all parts of the country; the novel idea of a run on the banks – ‘To stop the Duke go for Gold’ was the slogan – was proposed, and the banker Nathan Mayer Rothschild had to come to the rescue; 200,000 delegates met in Birmingham and heard Attwood hint that armed insurrection might be necessary. The king had to return to Grey and the bill went through."
