Becoming a priest for the money?
#11
RE: Becoming a priest for the money?
Well, I would never consider becoming a priest, no matter how much money I would make. Although I do have an uncle who is a preacher who is in it only for the money. When my family and I used to go to his church he kept bothering to tithe and donate, finally we left and now he never talk to us or checks up to see how anyone is doing. I love how Christians deny these simple teachings ; "The love of money is the root of all evil." and "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than it is for a rich man to get into the kingdom."
I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world. -Richard Dawkins Thinking

I'm very cynical. It's mostly a money making machine to me. Anyone ambitious enough can go far it would seem. Ministers swap denominations too to get a better deal.

I've known some amazing ministers. Great people. I've also known some amazing ministers that get the boot from straight Christian churches as the Church can't accommodate them. Churches get bogged down in traditionalism an fresh blood doesn't mix.

I know the Salvation Army don't pay great wages, but you get a house, a lease car. Expenses. Respect from some Smile

There are far easier ways to get money. Religion is more for mind control Big Grin
