    They do more for humanity through charity work than individual billionaires though.

      As someone who’s done pro-bono and charity work for several religious organizations … the Catholics, Muslim and Jewish dioceses or denominations were always by the books. The Christian-based ones though? Every single one was shady, pulled in as much money for their family as possible and a few would even pull me to the side to ask about fudging numbers with their software.

      The Christian and Baptist churches were mostly criminal, if not just in a moral stance, they were outright criminal. The precedent at least had checks and balances while the latter … everyone is in on it.

        They learned from the best! The Catholics are no longer so obviously gold-crazy as they once were (for centuries!), they have so much wealth it is hardly a concern for them at this point, untold billions, 170 million acres of land, and so much more than we will ever know.

        Baptists, Assembly of God, et al? They have a lot of catching up to do, so they are still obsessed with fleecing everyone for every dime that they can.

        Sadly, they are all tax free in many places, so the poor are still being robbed to pay for their “faiths”

      There is no amount of charity they could do to make up for all the harm they’ve caused raping and murdering children for hundreds of years.

        I hear you. But right now, at this point in time, the Catholic church ranks higher than billionaires for me.
