Developed nations with social safety nets don’t have to outsource keeping their fucking citizens alive to religious institutions that build giant megachurches and try to take over politics and try to decide when people should have fucking empathy.
I don’t care if they saved a trillion puppies, we should not be praising religion for doing the bare-fucking minimum I expect. I’m not mad at the churches who literally keep communities together and raise money for the poor, I’m mad at the churches who build media empires and try to oppress anyone who isn’t a white, male christian. You know, the actual vast majority of Christianity. The church has way, way too much blood on its hands for me to give them a pat on the back.
I don’t have the energy to fact-check the 50-billion, which I am sure has about 5 asterix next to it, but that’s not as much as it sounds when we’re talking nations with hundreds of millions of people. (A fast check of US statistics shows US churches MADE 150 billion in 2025, but I guess that extra is just to afford Jesus’s jet fleet.)
“And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.

And that has to do with the church spending some of the money advertising how?
You’ve invented an argument to have online. I don’t disagree that stupid but you’re ranting off topic 🤷♂️
Maybe the real advertisement could be doing good and not trying to convince people they’re doing good.
