A vivid and brilliant depiction of deceit and the greed for material things. So sad that these spiritual.leaders who are tasked to provide.guidance, careand teaching are the ones that will make the lives of its members miserable.

A powerful and very incisive write. A great expose on the evilness of those who are clothed as Men Of God. Brilliantly crafted and expressed.

In an era of material excesses, 'Pastorpreneurs' are the raiders of the Lord's Vineyard.

In an era of material excesses, 'Pastorpreneurs' are the raiders of the Lord's Vineyard. The world is a little twisted!

A very good appraisal. Holy 'lifters' such as these are present in all religions. They preach out spirituality and practice materialism and burglary. Full rating

Driven by putrid stench of materialism, they peddle The Holy Word for profit at the expense of worshippers, This is a universal truth now a days not only in Christianity alone, but also in almost all religions! True devotees feel disillusioned and disturbed by the business interest and the avarice for wealth behind every seemingly pious ritual. As I have already commented on this poem, I don't want to delve any further.

Yes indeed, religion has become a business enterprise, and pastors and priest and all god's so-called representatives, entrepreneurs. Yes, forgets god's agents and follow the dictates of your inner voice/conscience. That is the self to be sought.

Another powerful, incisve and perceptuve write. A wonderful write that vividly portrays the greediness of people that even the House of the Lord is an instrument to spread materialism. Beautifully and masterfully penned.

Very apt word, “pastorpreneurs”. As Karl Marx said, Religion is the opium of man. So, anything sells in the name of religion. Anywhere. Very poignant write. Powerful and forthright. Well done.
