Michael - Who do you think does the dirty work so that corporations can rob resources and exploit the masses? Maybe they didn't succeed in China and India but they did a very good job of it in the Americas. I was almost baptised once but when I found out that the Presbyterian Church invested heavily in the arms industry, I changed my mind about joining the church. If more people looked into how the churches prosper, you might think again. btw - I am not anti-Christian but highly skeptical of mainstream, organized religion; especially when they have committed atrocities and abuse. How do you think crime has been covered up for so long? Its because the govt. covers for the church and the church covers for the govt. When are people going to figure this out and start holding them accountable instead of defending the so-called "holy" church??? Its no different than bullying. Nobody will out the bully for fear of being targetted themselves. They have people so convinced that they were born sinners and that they will burn in hell unless they conform, that nobody dares question their authority. When are people going to grow up and stop hiding behind the cross?
