Or in the case of an evangelical mega-church to help pay for the tax free mansions and private jets, essentially charging the taxpayers twice.
- imwillofficial 6y agoAnd still be cheaper, how do they do it?!
- KDJohnBrown 6y agoBecause they wouldn’t do anything, they would just kee the money. During Hurricane Harvey 30,000 people in the vicinity of the billion dollar evangelical mega church iwnes by Joel Olstein were left homeless. Olstein closed the doors of his church and went on vacation. He got a massive government bailout afterwards. He also received a massive bailout during the pandemic and stull isnt helping the homeless. Religion generally does nothing but takes credit. Even mother theresa built a billion dollar “medical” empire while letting patients die of gangrene after breaking bones.
- imwillofficial 6y agoReligious based hospitals area cornerstone of the medical establishment. Religion has been the second most powerful force in the advancement of the quality of life of humans. Only medical science itself can take more credit.
- KDJohnBrown 6y agoSure. abrahamic religions historically have used violence and the threat thereof to steal the fruits of our labor. For example, No institution profited as much off of the African slave trade than the church of england. Sure some of that money was used for education and hospitals. Yay god.
