I wonder if these
Christian preachers really believe what they are preaching? After all, Christianity is big business. They sure are
making a lot of money out of it. They seem to have no problem finding gullible people
to support their ministries. Here is an example of what some of these Christians
preachers make. It is indeed a big business, like the underground drug trade. Here are
examples of the money these Christian ministries and their preachers are raking in from gullible Christians.

since the last report. I believe the real battle these Christian ministries are fighting for is one of retaining
lost revenues and membership from their perverted churches. As you can plainly see,
it is worth the fight to save their precious income which they derive from their unsuspecting,
deceived parishioners. That means little to me for I am not in the money business, but
rather to help people save their soul/spirit from eternal death. These ministries are like
that bank ad seen on TV, instead in this case, it is the preachers not the banks who
constantly have their hands in your pockets. You know that old line these preachers
use to get your money, by accusing you that you are robbing their god-gods for not
giving to their church. This reminds me of this religious joke which goes like this; A
catholic priests, a protestant preacher and a rabbi were discussing what they do with
the money they get from their parishioners. The catholic priest proclaimed that they
use the money on their churches to edify their god. The protestant preacher explains
that they use the money to convert people into protestantism by feeding and helping
the poor. The rabbi say's he stands over the offering basket and proclaims to GOD to
take of the money He wants, as the rabbi heaves the money into the air, what comes
back down he explains, is mine to keep. I have also noticed that some of these
Christian ministries will paste a fake hit counter like this one here..... to make it
look like they are getting a lot of hits on their web sites. It just goes to show you how
far some of these priests and preachers will go to deceive people!
