If a church used donations to grow to help more people than they could before I have no problem with that because the bigger they get the more they can give and the more programs they can create and run to help. A lot of charitable organizations began as part of a church or were started with help of a church. I deem that a much worthier cause than giving 1 bum on the street a meal (which is still good to do just not as helpful overall).
My point is this. If GOD only needs you to be nice, than why not help someone who is in need and move on? Why continue wasting your time on a never ending cycle of donations? I agree with what you said though, very nice.
