The money given to churches is supposed to be for supporting hte church to keep it's doors open, and to help the needy. My church does that, but I can think of others who are simply money grabbers.
There was a good story in the bible that tells about the time Jesus went to the temple and chastized all the high priests for their riches while the poor sat on their doorsteps and were not allowed into the temple. That started the priests to conspire against him and eventually lead to his death. He threatened their income.
Jesus did not like churches or temples that worshipped money and gold and made that clear many times.

Televangelists IMO are the ultimate sinners, they steal in God's name.
