Yes, money and control.

If Jesus that these Christians so dearly love, really existed in all his humble and divine glory, would say about, or even to, these men of the cloth?

I agree with your point about the ministers and clergy.  They’re con-men and women, pure and simple.  I think the best thing to do is fight back with Art, as we wouldn’t get too far in the justice system. 

Here’s a spoof from Mirror Reversal, my first book.  Scenes of depressing African poverty flash on the screen. 

 

“Would you like to help these needy kids?” asked a voice over.  “Just twenty dollars a month buys this much food.” 

The camera focused on a big dining room table replete with boxes of cereal, bushels of carrots, sacks of rice, sides of beef, a few trays of oysters Rockefeller and a couple of five pound lobsters with thick rubber bands wrapped around their big-toothed crusher claws. 

Into the images of the squalid African slum, strolled All American Buddy Roberts holding an emaciated baby in his arms.  “These kids need your help.  Please, The 7000 Club is doing all it can to make these kids pleasing to God.  NOW, it’s your turn.  Only you have the POWER to make it possible.  You’ll be able to FEEL God’s NEW surge of love.”

The English poet William Blake wrote about Milton's Paradise Lost

The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels & God, and at liberty when of Devils & Hell, is because he was a true Poet, and of the Devil’s party without knowing it

Well ... man did invent god, so it follows that he also invented satan and promotes both their existence to the local sheep ... and depending on whether the sale this week is on love and redemption or hellfire and brimstone, that will determine which one you see in the pulpit, I suppose.

Personally, I'd rather watch the Olympics.
