Sometimes people from religious organisations need to learn from the world.
We always hear about charity, respect , love , fairness and others from the preaching of clergies and people. But sometimes, we find that the world is much fairer than the religious organisations.
A pastor-intern receives less wage than a construction labourer while a mega church senior pastor receives much more than a multinational CEO. You may call this 'trials and testings' (former) and 'blessings for the man of God' but i call this a violation of human decency !
How can we give a pastor a such meagre salary that he has to do part-time sales to compliment it? Or how can we give a senior pastor a five-figure salary plus free housing , transportation and scholarships for his children and preach that love of money is the root of all evil. At least the world gives employees a decent salary.
We see monks driven by chauffeurs in Mercedes or BMW in the city. Aren't they suppose to live a life forsaking worldly things? Or that is only for his followers?
Some religious organisations expect free things from its members. It is good for members to volunteeringly give but to coerce them is not morally-right.
They talk much about doing the right thing in religion but when a religious figure does the wrong thing, it's so hard for him to adhere to his own preaching.
The greater a person, the hard for him to correct himself.
