Weekly, the ministers of Christianity, and many other faiths, lead the well-dressed faithful in praise of the almighty, omnipresent, omnipotent force responsible for, well, everything. They do this in expensive buildings, rented convention centers and stadiums, and multi-million dollar places of worship and cathedrals, those obnoxious synagogues of poorly spent wealth which Matthew says to stay away from. Ministers welcome "sinners" into their congregations, preach to them of hellfire and damnation, lead them in a multitude of prayers, and then judge them.
