When Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, a common complaint was, "but the church helps the poor!" Studies of medieval records found that only 6% of funds went toward helping the poor. Most of it went to construction projects and to support the lavish lifestyles of church leaders.

I think of this frequently in the context of taxing churches.

I think very little of a faith that insists on its rights at the expense of others’ lives.

Faith without works is dead.

Deadly, too.

They couldn’t even love the local community enough to avoid spreading a deadly virus.
They certainly won’t accept stricter gun laws.
They are fine with making me suffer and accusing me of murder if I have an ectopic pregnancy though.
They are fine with banning information from my kids.

Sin is a disgrace. Proverbs 14:34
