The people you are talking about are a tiny tiny tiny tiny faction of Pastors and those in Ministry. If your intention is to grill up a red herring, you have done well. People are just people, and as is true with any life in the public eye, you start off with good intentions and get carried away. When you do it in the name of Christ, it does have eternal consequences.

We have:
Homeless Missions
Battered and Single Women Missions
Overseas Missions
We give away 10,000 lbs of food per month
We have a Christian School and will pay tuition for people who cannot afford it.
1. How do you suppose we pay for this?
2. Should we "shoplift for Jesus?"
3. What about those of us who LOVE to give to the Lord??

speaking of lesser creations, how ironic that mere men would not recognize a God and have the audacity to hang him on a cross as even less than most men.
Maybe men are just blind... oh wait, that's not the first time this has been mentioned.

Homeless:
Isn't the reason some churches have homeless missions because they support a Govt that does not do its job, which was to provide jobs and homes for the people and not have outrageous fortunes rasised by foereign controlled ownership that cares not for the people.
Women issues:
Isn't that just more oversight by Govt., as even women need transportable jobs and a roof so they can move away from, divorce as may be needed, and not have to beg from the pagan church.
Oversea Missions:
Are not the invasions of churches seen as one in the same as evil, as one can recall the Budhist Monks that sat themselves on fire in Vietnam rather than fall into the realm of christian Nuns and Catholic Diem, who was killed over his Christianity. All Socialist countries see the church as a way to take over mens minds and undermine their way of governance. So Missionaries like John Birch were shot, Missionaries like Bill Wallace were shot. Most see the designs of Christian Catholicism was nothing more than the methods of Rome's games to install empire using religion.
Pay Tuition:
In a properly run society, education should be free to all. California has the right idea.

Not just men, but a specific type of man. Religious men, who couldn't see passed their own noses to see that their God was walking amoung them, and all because of one technicality...he rode into Jerusalem on an ass instead of a white horse. Jesus fulfilled the Feast of Trumpets that day, and the jews failed their test. They were found asleep by the thief in the night.

When you live a life for God, you meet the people who are ACTUALLY his hands and feet. Not the people the rest of the world sees.
The World doesn't find the Christian as moral, nor pious on the word of Jesus.
I know people who have given up seven figure jobs to work in prisions and with drug adicts. They gave up their lives in the pursuit of giving other's a chance at life. To group them in with people who have private jets and book contracts is utterly ridiculous.
