The big religious show is full of greed.

My religious views are that I believe in god, but I'm just not convinced on religion. I have always thought that the people on the TBN network where a ridiculous group of individuals. If you haven't heard yet 6 Televangelist some linked to the TBN network, are being investigated. The things in question are there lavish spending with church money and the cash gifts from the church, not considered income. This would be called tax evasion. One guy actually received a 2 million dollar gift from the church on the churches 40Th anniversary and paid no taxes on it. This must of been a big donating day for his cut to be 2 million dollars. This situation makes me realize there are 2 types of believers. The ones that make the money, and the ones that give the money. If the person making the money is not held accountable, greed can very quickly slips in. Smaller churches are not by any means in the TBN category. The smaller churches are the only thing in my eyes still holding the faith of the people and yet some of them are still questionable. If you go to church and it is a big show of ridiculousness that leaves you thinking what a great show, maybe you can pay them for there show but don't expect that money to go to anybody but the main character. I enjoy the church I occasionally visit and I know that they are not in to the ridiculous acts, and fake lives of the televangelist. Hear are some links if you missed the news on the 6 televangelist being investigated. I also think it is quite ironic that the government is investigating somebody for not properly managing the money of American people.
