"Meso, those Mega Churches give 1,000 times more to the poor than those you how in high regards."
--slate, you on the right love to slam Al Gore for not having a solar powered toilet or an exercise bike powered toaster oven or whatever but you don't hold yourselves to the same standards. Let's go with your "1,000 times more" figure for a moment. Why are people who are supposed to be ministering to the poor, the sick, and the disabled given the green light to get rich but Al Gore isn't?
Anyway, how much is "1000 times more" relative to what mega churches spend on Lear jets and Bentleys for their clergy members? Are they giving til it hurts or are they simply skimming crumbs off the top for the poor while giving themselves a pat on the back and collecting a fat paycheck?
