What are your views on Pastors living lavishly?

One little detail that makes it my business is that these massive
rec centers they call "churches" are alllllll tax free.

I agree. In fact it's not hard to make a distinction between church aka house of worship with business like hotels, gyms, sports facilities, private schools etc. It seems such distinctions get (intentionally) "lost" here whenever it's under the same non profit tax free umbrella to a point where you're seeing things like this.

The Christian church has a deep history of placing a
heavy burden on the populace. Some day maybe those
of us who dont wish to subsidize them any longer can
force a change.
