Re: Organized Religion Is Spiritual Welfare

When I was a kid, I saw being in a minister's family as prestigious... now I just see it as being related to someone with an addiction akin to gambling. Always hoping that maybe next month, a new family will come to the church and maybe then they will be able to make ends meet.

The unfortunate part is, with this particular addiction, all of the other people with the same addiction encourage and reinforce the behavior, even if the person has hit rock bottom, cannot pay their bills each month, has to rely on the charity of others on a day by day basis for years on end.
