Golden Crosses, statues, jewelry, extravagant attire; all of these accompany the Christian Church. Yet thousands of starving, ill, and destitute people strive to make ends meet.

How does the Christian Church justify their material wealth?

I once asked this question to a nun, and she told me “Those things don’t belong to anyone, they’ve been there for a long time”. How is that an excuse? If it doesn’t belong to anyone, then sell it. They’re more than enough religious followers, museums and institutions wanting to get a hold of those things. Why are their no auctions held?

Why? Because the Christian Church ignorantly believes that their “material wealth” brings them power and divine right. They prefer that thousands of people die and suffer instead of them looking “weak” and “powerless”.

This is one of the reasons not to believe in the Christian Church, and many other religious institutions.
