11. I always wonder how much property is owned by...
Falwell, Robertson, and the rest of the capitalist faux preachers. I've also wondered who owns their churches. For example, a Church of God building, who owns that? Does the church own it? Does the preacher? Is it rented? How is the 10% tithing obligatorily contributed by congregants get distributed? I've also always thought that someone who preaches the alleged word of God should not be paid. They should have a job on the side, and not expect the congregants to pay. Ah well, but that's just me.

I'm not too interested in the Catholic Church (I'm Jewish) because their churches are not owned by specific individuals, but by the church as a whole.

Just my two cents.
