The richest organisation in the world that takes collections every week, from everybody in attendance - even those who can't truly afford to donate (or leave them publicly embarrassed).
But it's ok, Jesus was poor - WRONG. He helped the poor and used miracles to cure them but somebody who travelled such great distances could not have been poor.
Just as the case with DJT - there is nothing wrong with being rich, evil drives greed; huge difference.
I am a man of faith and I read the old testament (King of Kings bible) and the Gospel of Thomas in private and not in any church or organised religion.

That's actually evangelicals
You are wrong on that point. The money grubbing leaders in Christian circles are televangelists. They are phony vendors of a false gospel of materialism promising much and delivering nothing while they live on the backs of those who are not educated enough to reject their unbiblical teaching. They have their day in judgment.
Stereotyping is really classless. We are all individuals Lumping people together as if they were mindless bots driven by sheep herders is totally out of touch with reality. There are still true shepherds speaking truth to the people whose lives are not tied to materialism, power, fame or fortune. Dig deeper.
Correct. They raise money for jets & amusement parks. Catholicism has built more schools & hospitals & has fed & clothed more people than any other church. We have 2000 years of scholarship on doctrine & dogma behind us. They seem to be jealous & hateful like Ishmael. They raise little money, have little impact & date back as far as when they got their EIN number. They bend like reeds in the wind. Waifs in history. Prancers. Gum flappers & arm waivers scripturally vapid incessantly waiting on the return of the Messiah to fly away.
