With the onslaught of tourism in the famous Italian
churches, it is no wonder that the churches try to make money off of it. In the
States, the mammoth churches make millions of dollars by forgetting about the
core Christian beliefs of charity and humility. The Bible clearly states that
“It is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than it is for a
rich man to get into heaven,” but apparently that is one of those lines of
scripture that the religious folk so often choose to overlook. I have already
expressed by dislike of allowing tourists into the churches, but if that is
going to happen, I understand that rules need to be enforced and people need to
be hired to do that. These people need to be paid, and an easy way to do that
is to charge admission, which happens at a lot but not all churches, with the
large amount of tourists, it is easy to figure that the money that these
churches draw in is massively more than is required to pay the employees. One
can only hope that the remainder truly is going to charity.
