People tend to be fascinated when a system does things it is not created to do.
Reddit's primary purpose is to share and comment on links whereas churches are founded to spread goodwill in a community.
- TeHCrAzY 16y agoI'm pretty sure churches are not founded to spread goodwill in a community.
- aberkowitz 16y agoMost religions exist to spread the goodwill of their respective deity or deities. Often times they spread their goodwill through charitable means.
- TeHCrAzY 16y agoI can't believe that a place of religious worship is created with the prime motivation to spread goodwill. It's purely to extend and expand or fortify their religion. Edit: To clarify my point further: If the aim was to spread goodwill, it would be more efficient to open a center directly focused on such.
- aberkowitz 16y agoI hope you understand that there is no debate going on between us. This is merely an outsider's understanding of how a church functions. In the context of this thread it is irrelevant how effective / ineffective, good / bad a church is. The church is used to define an entity that represents a contrast to reddit's intended functionality.
