Won’t someone please think of these super important churches and their totally-not-coincidentally wealthy pastors?
For the record, a remarkably small percentage of pastors are actually wealthy. Lots of churches have a pretty poor financial outlook these days, and many pastors struggle.
That’s not to say there aren’t rich assholes fleecing (pun intended) their flock, and obviously fuck televangelists, but it’s not the norm for a pastor to be wealthy.
Edit: (Not disagreeing with the stuff about modern Christianity failing utterly to understand itself though.)
