My Thoughts

Most religions are good. But, the problem arises when believers become "lazy" and leave everything to God, or worse the pastor who himself is just a human. The following comment that I saw in Facebook page sums it all.

"Stop delegating to authority. You are your own authority, stop outsourcing the work of thinking to someone else."

Donations

Donation to church is not a bad thing. But as a member of the church, its your job also to make sure the money is indeed channeled to those who are in need. Misuse of church funds happens when there is no transparency and proper procedures in tracking the expenses & expenditure of the church. After all, its us - human who manage the money. (I believe there are similar cases go undetected around the globe).

Epilogue

Don't be lazy. Stay smart. Be a responsible person to yourself, and those around you.
