Even though this article is from Yahoo News, nowhere is money mentioned. Why would you believe that money is exchanged?
Members = money. That's where this is going.
Do you know of any religion where money is not involved?
Members of a religion are “ customers “. They pay MONEY to the church for various reasons. Without the money most churches would not exist.
How did the Catholic church become the richest church on earth? I guess most non-catholics can figure out how.
