Well if you think that churches are really trying to make money, what about the red cross and others like them. Their leaders of those org's get hundreds of thousands of dollars to run them. Pastors don't make lots of money, just enough to live, most churches house their preists. As for buildings doesn't the red cross have a huge headquaters that cost millions to build so they could sit in offices and keep most of the money to themselves. And that corp. doesn't pay taxes
