Behold How They Love One Another

It seems that business and avarice for power comes before fairness, even in the Baptist church:

The pastor of an aging church in Denver, frustrated by the inability to grow to become a megachurch, seeks out a merger with another church 10 miles away and promotes the merger. When it passes, the older churches property is closed by the merged church and sold for real estate gain. In essence, the pastor moves to the newer church which is deep in debt, bringing along the older church's property but not the parishioners.

Pretty damned sordid and petty of them, as far as I can tell.

I guess you can pass the plate only so many times in some churches ...

Already known by many of us, but there are many millions of people who think that being a Christian and going to church regularly make you a better person than someone who is skeptical and sleeps in on Sundays.
