They are all greedy, money-hungry, assholes who don't really give a damn about the small guy. At least not when they have the backing of major corporations supporting their trips, vacations and nice lifestyles.
The mega churches that are in the US most definitely could take a page from the smaller, struggling churches, but they won't. They don't want to sacrifice the mansions their pastors live in. It's all about image to them.
The mega-churches, the televangelists, the prosperity gospel advocates. They're all just parasites taking money off the lonely and the desperate. They ruin lives and harm people. For the "faith healers": they're even worse parasites. They stop people actually seeking medical treatment that can help them and, potentially, save lives. They are directly responsible for an unknown amount of pain and suffering and death.
Dying to live, living to die.
