Churches Are Not Charities

"Why you should NEVER give to religious charities - why tithing to religious organizations is bad: the churches and temples that don't con their flock, but actually spend philanthropic religious donations on charities are still usually the least efficient and also use the money on religious material. Other organizations, like Joel Osteen's Lakewood church and other prosperity doctrine churches, will fleece you for every dime you have so the pastor can fly an expensive private jet and live in a mansion. There are plenty of excellent charities and non-prophet organizations to donate to that will give and help generously without lying to people in the process." (click on link below)
