To be totally fucking honest (and I have actually been trying to reduce my use of profanity in posts), the guy needs his head examined.
I am fatally honest with my people, strangers are a different story. If I found a wallet with say fifty or a hundred bucks in it I would return it, with the money. If there is like $500 in it I am skimming a fifty or a hundred, but will return the rest, after all the guy could wind up with nothing. If I found a paper bag with $50,000 in it, that would promptly go in my safe and not be touched for a time. It's a matter of perspective.
I could see that situation, when "people" show up looking for their fifty grand, like if I was seen or something. I would say "OK, you can have it but I want a finder's fee because if I would have given it to the cops you would have nothing".
This guy is not too smart, all that's going to happen is the church is going to get a big neon sign and become a mega-church. I could be wrong though, some might use it to help the homeless and all that, but I am not holding my breath.
Charity begins in the home and extends to friends. When friends are down on their luck I will feed them, let them crash here (for a short time) to get back on their feet, even buy them cigarettes. Screw organised charity.
Sure, if I "belonged" to a church, this windfall would bolster my donations, but to give away the whole thing ? I don't think so. Although there is one thing, if the church can get that money tax free, and actually collect more than I could, we could make a deal. This idea of "give until it hurts" is a bunch of bullshit. Why would you hurt yourself ?
