Wow, so after 2000 years of plundering the world, hoarding riches, ruling over and enslaving millions o people, performing genocide on infidels, branding millions as heretics and persecuting them, torturing them and burning them at the stake, today, when they still hold on to all this money, mansions, palaces, banks and political power, and still making a ton of money and still living in palaces... With all this they take some of their residual income and do some charity work which is done mostly by poor suckers who believe in their church and who do it mostly for free anyway... I was one of those poor suckers too, so I know how it works. Yep, this makes the church redeemed and gets it of the hook. They sure have accounted for all their crimes through the ages. Oh, and spreading the word of god does not count as charity. They are simply spreading their influence. This is all PR work that they so desperately need. So then people like you can show up and say "Never mind 2000 years of church heagemony! Nevermind the holywars, genocides and persecutions! Look, they are giving some of that money back!" What on earth would we ever do without the church?
