Religious Charity And  Sins
                                                                     It is said that' Charity begins at Home'.  However the purpose of Charity is very important. Some people give charity for religious purpose while some go for needy and social developments. There are some of  the Religions which have given mandate to their devotees to set aside some percentage of their income for Charity Purpose.  But it is very important that how those religious charities are being used.  Mostly those funds are used for propagating or expanding their Religious Influence instead of using for the Developments of their Community.
                                                                     The most of the Temples or Churches or Girijagrah have become very rich because of lots of Charities. The Tirupati Temple, Andhra Pradesh, India is one of the Richest Temples. The Chief Minister of the Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu  Once said, "  People are Committing Sins and get rid of them they are going to Temples and offering Money'.  Even giving Kilos of Gold one can have 'VIP' Darshan i.e. Out of Queue.  One of the  priests of Siva Temple in Rajasthan use to offer certificate i.e.' Free Of Sins'  against the Payment Rs11/- . Even  Arti or Ringing Bell at Kashi has its own price.
                                                                    The individual who pays large sum would have his punishment for his sins  reduced  in the After Life.  Such practices were observed by Roman  Catholic  Church in the year 1517 sold under name 'Indulgence' .

                                                                    Andrew Carnegie, Industrialist wrote in his book titled 'Gospel of Wealth' that" Rich are obliged to distribute their wealth to poor. It was disgraceful for some one to die rich."  The said message had great impact on western society and people started giving charities for social causes. It is reported that 'Average Dutch individuals makes money contributions to Seven Charities'.  The rich persons like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Mark Zukerberg have also made Charities of Millions of Dollars for Social Causes.Those are charities made for noble causes which makes them good.
                                                                 
                                                                       However it can be seen from above that some of the Charities are made in order to cover up their Sins. In the process Temples, Churches,  Religious Institutions are becoming rich Day by Day. Besides that it encourages the wrong Human instincts.In short Charities which are made selflessly with good intention and that too for good causes are the best
