Is this ironic or what?

I went past a local church the other day and it had the following sign outside:

"Make Poverty History"

And I thought to myself: what has the church contributed to this (other than causing poverty throughout history and preying on the poor)?

No pun intended.

Then it occurred to me that this is probably irony on the part of the church.

Or, am I missing something?

Oh, and before any people start haranguing me about my church comments, read your history.

Perhaps you need to ask yourself why the church is so powerful and rich? Yes, people give it money in order to get a place in heaven. Now, show me the brochure for heaven and I'll decide whether I want to holiday there for eternity thank you very much.
