So where was the charity from the multimillionaire pastors of the mega churches in Texas?

Mega churches are similar to other large organizations that receive untold millions in donations and give back very little in charity. Al Sharpton's National Action Network and Black Lives Matter are two such organizations.

If you read my first sentence you will see I am no fan of mega churches, particularly Osteen and Robertson. I think they are crooks of the worst kind who weasel money out of many who can ill afford to donate and then give back very little.
