Do you ever get tired of fat salaried pastors telling everyone else how they should 'serve' for free

Filling in for a sermon is not the same as leading a church.

Granted, didn't imply that is was. As stated I'm not ordained and evangelism is so much easier that leading a church. However when one becomes involved with a church and the church politics it is easy to see things others don't. I do believe a good pastor should be paid as any professional. Actually our pastors are paid less than a secular professional in our area. The average here is between 100k and 120k where upper level management here ranges from 150 to 200 so actually our pastors are underpaid.

I would agree with that. The op however, strongly implies that most pastors are lazy bums who don't know as much about scripture as him.

There also the assumption that he has spies out quite a few pastors and knows exactly what their schedules are.
