Big Business - WWJD


Pointed conclusion in this month Fortune magazine:

"Christianity was born in the Middle East as a religion,
moved to Greece and became a philosophy,
journeyed to Rome and became a legal system,
spread through Europe as a culture
- and when it migrated to America, Christianity became big business."

Remember "In the Name of the Rose" where Franciscan monks struggled with the religious establishment of their time? They were told: "The question is not whether Jesus was poor, the question is: Should the Holy Mother Church be poor". Seems like history repeats itself.

Update:
The evangelical churches not only made it onto the Fortune website, they captured the Business Week headlines too, including a special mention of supersizing believe.

P.S:  If you are into acronyms you would not only like WWJD but also WWBD or JBB
