A very good point, and one that people, including those that are involved with the multi-million dollar churches....overlook.

Organized religion has turned into a money-making entity. Meaning they'll probably say ANYTHING to get you to commit to their cause, and put money into their pockets.

As someone who literally freaks out everytime I turn on the Miracle Channel and hear some big-talking preacher tell HIS version of what it takes to get into heaven.....I am completely against this new-age form of organized religion.

And like you said....I suspect Jesus would have been too.
