I'm sick of this perception. This is probably <1% of all ministers.

I'd say that's about right. My pastor drives a beat up old truck and needs some pretty serious repair to his home. The church is well kept, him...not so much.

Probably so. But then you hear the stories of pastors wearing $1,000 tennis shoes, living in multi million dollar mansions, and asking their parishioners for a NEW private jet because “Jesus wouldn’t ride a donkey today”

Yes, most people know most pastors are decent people. But holy hell do the bad ones set the precedent for profiteering off the gospel

He looks exactly like a skeezy pastor. He probably owns the funeral home too

Stupid trash doesn't magically get less stupid and trashy just because they have money. That most definitely applies here.
