Sometimes so-called "bashing" is well-deserved.

7. Isn't this kind of flaming shit more appropriate for the so-called "Religion" Cage Match forum?

I think so, if you're looking for a "Waste money on houses of worship" VS "Feed the Starving" discussion.

What are you saying, exactly?

You could put up a picture of celebrities dripping in diamonds, and ask the same question.

Or you could put up pictures of multi-million dollar sports franchises.

Or George W. Bush, buying hectare after hectare in South America.

People--rich people, mostly, because they are rich-- spend their money in stupid ways. So do organizations and corporations.

Why single out the religious for their stupid expenditures, when the Kardashians, every major sports franchise in the world, and many of the Top One Percenters do the same damn thing?

Who are you bashing, specifically? I don't notice the Kardashians sending out religious people to care for lepers, house the homeless, feed the hungry, etc.

Look, I am not an advocate for mega-cathedrals or the lure of false promises from spokesmodels who claim to have a direct line to a deity, but you're suggesting that all religions don't do anything towards helping alleviate social inequities in the world, to include starvation, and that's a bit of a leap to make.

This OP sounds like flame bait to me......and worse, it sounds like flame bait IN THE WRONG FORUM.
