The religious leaders were doing a tremendously beautiful business: no investment, all profit, no income tax. The religious profession is really the only superb business. You don't have to invest any money into it, no risk of losing, no risk of the dollar going down. Wherever the dollar goes it doesn't matter; it is always profit, never loss. In religious business it is always profit.
And you don't have to manufacture any commodity; you don't have to create factories and bring labor and labor problems – strikes and lock-outs. No problems at all. You deal in invisible commodities.
Nobody can see the god, nobody can see the angels, nobody can see the heaven. It is really a strange business.
