The dipshits that hide behind religion are legion.

Satirist Deven Green — a.k.a. “America’s Best Christian,” Mrs. Betty Bowers — skewered Goodwill Industries in a video published on Tuesday, noting that it would take the typical Goodwill worker 2,598 years to earn the $1,188,733 southern California CEO Craig Smith makes in a year.
.
“Jesus hasn’t even lived that long, but he’d recognize those wages,” Bowers says. “And he’d also recognize secular charlatans using his flock’s playbook to get rich. Make tax-free millions by pretending you’re doing good? Well, that’s religion’s corporate motto. And quite frankly, we’re tired of the competition.”
.
Bowers points out that Goodwill is able to hire disabled workers for 22 cents an hour thanks to a loophole in the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. As the Huffington Post has reported, the company has applied this “special wage certificate” to 7,300 out of its 105,000 employees.
.
“Just like most churches, or any get-rich-quick scheme, the cash always trickles up to the top,” she explains. “One branch paid its top executives more than $3.7 million in one year. That’s a lot of charity — to themselves.”
.
Goodwill also takes after many religious institutions, she says, because it sends its leaders on lavish trips by calling it “outreach.”
.
“[That is] a Christian ministry term of art that means roughly ‘Which Four Seasons do you want me to stay in this time, Jesus?'” she chides.
