American Ayatollahs

Alternet is running a story about the ten richest religious organisations in the U.S.A.

Where Jesus Christ taught love, compassion and tolerance, to these Ayatollahs the message is more about hate than love and "tolerance" is a dirty word. While Jesus spent time with the poor, the sick, hated tax collectors and prostitutes, these would-be theocrats spend their time consorting with the rich and powerful and even murderous and corrupt foreign dictators. Jesus said to pay your taxes (render onto Caesar); these churches are all tax exempt.
