First, you don't really give two craps about the church or the lost souls of this fallen world, so don't come at me with the "How people view God because of other people" crap. As for people's salvation, CD has not done anything that I know about that has negatively impacted the potential souls that are available to receive the message of salvation.

The church is not suffering simply because of opulence. And no one is renouncing God, because of a plane.

No, I already knew that the OP was as beacon of light for the same old crew, you included that ALWAYS have something negative to say about the Church, GOD, Jesus, Christians, etc.


And if the matter is so bad, then I suggest that you start your own ministry and do it the way that you think is would go. But you wont.

Ok. Why don;t you ask God how to do ministry instead of insulting me.
