  • David, you wrote: "If what I say here is accurate, then the church has sadly misappropriated hundreds of billions of dollars. Worse still, tens of thousands of churches have been shut down due to their inability to pay the "preacher's salary.""

    A pastor once told me that it takes $200,000.00 to start a church in America. I was shocked and wondered what these guys have been taught in seminary.

      $2,000,000,000,000.00

      Glance at this web page. And remember that it does not take into account Europe, Canada, Central or South America.

      Also, notice that the article is 8 years old. Serious big money, regardless.

      More than enough to buy a Bible for every person on Earth.
