The ONE thing the Catholic church gets right is the vow of poverty for the priests. 


A million dollar rectory is NOT roughing it.

That being said...I'm not a fan of mega churches.

This is all ridiculous.. John gray spoke at my church.. heck of a speaker/Pastor.. he travels around the world to preach.. would be the same if you had a big time speaker come and speak. You pay the man for what he does.

There are a lot of stupid, easily manipulated people in this country. Pretty damn sad tbh.

Wait, so they teach you to not overvalue money by telling you to give it to them


How do you expect the Catholic church to pay off all those lawsuits?

Jesus would fly coach, sleep in a stable and be ok with some unleavened bread to snack on. Why can't Gray?

And I agree that I normally wouldn't care about megachurches getting millions of dollars from idiots, but they are tax exempt and that is bullshite IMO.


Pastor salaries are not tax exempt. I wish this myth would die.

Greenville pastor John Gray appears to have gifted his wife a $200,000 Lamborghini sports utility vehicle for their eighth anniversary.


If she hits it at 220mph in her lambo, she’ll probably be able to squeeze through the eye of that needle. Nothing to see here.

Megachurches are terrible.



I don't it seems to have worked out pretty well for the pastor and his wife.

I don't have a problem with it. People are free to do what they want with their own money and whom they choose to give it to. It's better than the government sticking a gun in your face for taxes which they in turn waste.

Is it a hard one?

You seemed pretty confident when you made the point. I thought you might be able to defend it.

Not at all. I'm simply not going to deny that man has been doing that from day one.

I respect everyone's views and at times I wish I had stronger faith, but when we talk about the bible, don't forget... The bible was put together what? 400 - 500 years after Jesus supposedly died?

And while I don't know all the details, there were scriptures that were left out for whatever reason. And over 400 - 500 years, what other factors played into the whole process that can make people feel confident that what the bible is today is from original content that was created 400- 500 years before it was put together?

And another thing that I always ask when discussing religion is.. Who is right? I think it's reasonable to look look at other religions... Jewish, Muslims, Sikh, etc In each religion Jesus is viewed a different way. Who is to say these people are right and those people are wrong?

Watched his video. I have an easier time accepting it if I frame him as a black Chris Farley that sometimes talks about God. People are basically paying to be entertained.

If the goal was to get the word out to the masses, you would think they would have known most people, on average, is a dumbass and dumbed it down a little.
