"With the addition of Dutch Square Mall to its portfolio, (Word of God) aims to revitalize this space, breathing new life into it and transforming it into a place of inspiration, unity, and prosperity..."
A church with a "portfolio" is a church with too much goddamned money!

Well, if you've nothing better to do with yourself and you (like me) have a fascination with Christo-fascists and their pastors, here's 3 minutes and 52 seconds of crazy to remind you what we went through after the 2020 election and what we can expect to see ratcheting up as we draw closer to 2024.
Pity I can't vote absentee now and sleep through all of 2024.

The reality of religion is that since Christ railed about the misuse of the temple:
And as he taught them, he said, ‘Is it not written: My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it “a den of robbers'
Mark 11: 15-17
And the Sanhedrin had him killed for it, (using blasphemy as the excuse) the religion business is more Open for Business than ever.

Because it was all grift to begin with.

If there were a tax on hate, churches would go bankrupt….nah, who am I kidding, churches wouldn’t pay that tax like they don’t pay regular taxes! 😑
#TaxTheChurches
Your weekly Sunday reminder:
Religions: “we don’t pay tax because we’re not for profit corporations”
Also religions: own for profit schools, for profit hospitals, for profit aged care facilities, for profit kindergartens, for profit colleges, for profit universities as well as millions worth of real estate, which, you guessed it, generate profit.
Tax. The. Fuck. Out. Of. Churches.

800 million or more people starving?

If your church has millions of dollar, it’s not a church, it’s a money making scheme. #TaxTheChurches
Soooo...
I get a LOT of flack for being an atheist - compound that when I state my position that Buddhism is, in fact, just another religion and needs to not be treated as a 'philosophy' and therefore above reproach. As though there isn't a gendered hierarchy (there is), as though a privileged man does run things (he does), and that abuse doesn't happen (it does!).
OF COURSE IT DOES BECAUSE THERE IS A POWER IMBALANCE THAT SEES VULNERABLE PEOPLE ABUSED.
Case in point: the top guy of the Buddhist cult just apologised because he was caught telling a young boy he kissed on his mouth to "suck my tongue".
All religions and their representatives need to be held legally accountable, pay taxes and be subject to critical thinking, transparency and be called out on their bullshite and abuses.
All of them.
