Money and Christianity - This is a big issue among many that turned me off of Christianity. If preachers really believed in what they preach, why do they commit so many gross atrocities? Read about Robert Tilton and Jim Baker to name just a couple. Also see:

I understand that no one is perfect but Im not talking about your average Joe. These are supposedly devout knowledgeable Christians who firmly believe in salvation life after death eternal peace etc. and they do things like this.
Because Matt, those men were not real preachers, they were imposters hiding behind the bible, it's called sin. Many many churches do good works with the money they collect, and follow the example they preach everyday.
