-and if you didn't keep up appearances no-one would continue giving money to the church. Look, I'm not criticizing the good that your church may do (though..I probably could) - I'm simply expressing that this in no way implies or establishes that those actions are not in their own best interests or free from self interest -first and foremost-. No church, no charitable actions by the church.
The pedestal -you've- placed the church upon is the problem, not the membership fees or how much they pay their salesmen C4. Somebody has to pay the bills, and if the boys in the office are talented at distributing the product they need to be paid (if, for no other reason, so they won't go elsewhere and move product for the competition).

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
