Most personally convincing reasons you don't believe.

Hell, let's use Joel Osteen as a fine example here... lives in a 10 million dollar mansion. He's a self-proclaimed servant of god. But doing good for the rest of the people? While living in luxury? I think not.

One only has to look at the leaders of any mega church to see that there is nothing selfless or heroic about the cars they drive or the houses they live in. That is, they are people who have learned how to use an imaginary figure to make a very fat profit off of the backs of countless followers whom are most likely suffering and barely able to make their own ends meet.

Politicians steal, lie and sent people to war thought lies to steal from neighbors. Power corrupts and always will. But it doesn't change the fact that there are many "little angels" in christian churches. Leaders of the church aren't saints. They have lust and greed in them as well.
