Irrelevant. The fact of the matter is, the money that runs that megachurch's Aviation Division is considered "charitable giving" in the statistics cited here.

It's pretty simple: If conservatives want to bask in the glory of their charitable going, they should at least acknowledge that a good chunk of those donations are directed at churches, and that a good number of churches use those funds on things having nothing to do with charity.

I responded to post 73...go back and read it...then follow the bouncing ball to this post....
