Christian Network Glorifying Only Itself

* Re “Southland Ranks as TV’s Bible Belt,” Jan. 12:

Didn’t the Crouches learn anything from Jim Bakker? It sickens me to think of the amount of money these demons bring in under the name of God and how excessively they spend it.

Imagine the good that could be done in this world if that money went to a cause instead of someone’s inflated ego.

* Every day I drive past the new headquarters of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, and I can’t help but think how many millions of tax-free dollars it must have cost to build.

It is funny how they refused to say the total cost, but I’m going to venture to say much more than a building without marble and brass fixtures.

If there were ever a reason to start taxing the church, this is it. The reason religious organizations were given tax-exempt status was the thought that their money would be spent helping the less fortunate. Instead, it is being spent on building “tourist attractions.”
