Hah, hey look if it helps some people than yes, it's fine as long as it's not affecting non-believers rights to do what they want too. It's no more wrong than any other (as far fetched as it may be but that's for the follower to decide). Edit: I also said somewhere that life is a series of grey areas too - everything is a spectrum
Those who benefit overtly financially from taking advantage of people in a weakened state are...morally destitute imo. Look, everyone needs a job and deserves to be paid a fair wage for the work they perform but if that job is ripping people off, that's where I draw the line. Price gouging is the issue more than the job itself and also tax-exempt status of many of these organisations. But now we're broaching into other realms..
