I won't even say that this is the majority of pastors. I have a huge amount of respect more my pastor and many others. It's a difficult job - made all the more difficult by the existence of people that fit these stereotypes.

Not offensive at all - at least to me - because it is the truth -there are lots of preachers out there with HUGE egos but there are MANY out there also that are really good men of God - those egomaniacs get too much recognition.
