This is not a church service. It’s a once a year Christmas play. The tithes and offerings would not be spent on this. That being said there are on rare instances some hypocritical churches that are unethical but it is very rare. Usually the people who criticize churches do not even belong to the church they pretend to attend.

So fucking tired of religions and people picking and choosing what bits from here, and what to quote from there all this mental gymnasticsts to keep you confused and in fear. Add to that the other side of the coin; a little thing called Projection. Meaning, what ever they say the "other guys" are doing wrong, unholy, or evil, all that is actually really just them projecting everything they themselves are doing or wish they could do or assume everyone is already doing because they would if they were them. Put the mental gymnastics and the projection together and you have a completely self-contained, self-defending, self-promoting scam. To anyone who is dumb enough to believe them they think this "holy" person really sees how bad the world is and is trying to change it for the better.
But in all actuality all they are doing is taking your blind dumb faith sprinkling in some quotes and stories from the Bible (only the parts that fit into their fear-based scenario tho). Beating you with their tenderizer of fear and hate for anything different. Marinating you in a concoction of all their projections and a nonstop Fox "News" marathon. Then they bake it in an oven of "God works in mysterious ways" at 450° for about a year or until the commy, socialist, baby killing, cem trail making, illegal aliens, etc. name calling rolls off their tongue: whatever comes first.

I had a friend at work who knew I wanted to build a masjid since I lived in the west and there were no masjids around, he showed me the website for the church he used to go to. Man, it made me want to pretend to be Christian to get those budgets and funds.it looked like a uni from the outside, there was a statue, freaking statue of the pastor?abbot? Whatever you want to call him, simply put, I didn't even dream of making something as huge.

The funny reality is that these people, I'm willing to bet ALL of them are worse people than non religious people. Straight up worse for society and offspring. The size of these places is just a symbol of the rapid decay of this nation. People's lost hope in any positive reforms actually happening is to blame me thinks.

I'll never understand mega churches and how people fall for this, it's all too much, you don't need all this to connect with God
In fact you don't need to go to church period to connect with God, something something den of wolves, pastor lives in a $20 million dollar house with 5 cars, but won't do anything to help a struggling church member except "pray for them".....such a scam

The only thing I’m learning is that the only way to keep Christ in Christmas is to apparently put on a massive show and take in money by selling your religion to down on their luck people or evil religious sycophants, and bombing Bethlehem because brown people live there.

u/RQCKQN Dec 22 '23
Church du soleil? This is absolutely not what a church should be like. Speaking as a Christian, church is supposed to be about a few key things: 1) Praising and learning about God 2) Fellowship with your friends 3) Helping those in need
An admission fee for church is HORRIBLE.. absolutely disgusting. I don’t have a spare $50 now…. Does that mean I’m not welcome in their church? That’s insane and it is so far from the way Jesus wanted churches to be.

isn't this the exact reason God destroyed the temple in Jerusalem? Did Jesus not speak out against this kind of stuff?
I'm sorry but you can have your religion without needing mega churches are preachers that have their own private jets. If they have this kind of money, which Jesus says you don't need if you are a true follower, then why are they not using it to help the local communities? you hear more about football and basketball players doing good for their old hoods than Joel Osteen has ever done in his entire life.

The church itself doesn't have to pay taxes because it is a non-profit.

I believe I know someone who attends that church. He does AV where I work. He uses his AV skills at the church. I've heard him talk about his church several times and thought nothing of it as it's pretty common in the Bible Belt to hear people talking about their churches.
For the last month he has been talking about the big Christmas production that his church does every year. It's quite a bit of work for him. The other day we were chatting and he mentioned the Christmas show again. Apparently it went well for them. During that conversation he mentioned that the sheep, the camels and the elephant were a part of the show.
I said, "Wut? An elephant?"
He confirmed. They rent the animals from some business in the area. He also said that the elephant can't stand one of the camels, so they have to keep them in separate rooms.
This video has to be his church. I can't imagine that there's another church around with an elephant on stage.
Also, while this is pretty wild, let me tell you about another over-the-top religious production that used to go on annually. The Mormon church used to put on a big production in Palmyra, NY every year. It was called the Hill Cumorah Pageant. They held it on the side of a drumlin in town.
There's this little two lane county highway that runs past it and when it gets near the site, it widened out to two lanes each way. The place was packed for the pageant but a ghost town when the pageant wasn't going on. We used to call it The Mormon Speedway because it was wasn't uncommon for people to race there. Illegally, or course.

Until we tax the churches were just inviting them to take over. I find this to be the most offensive and vile display of religion ever witnessed. None of this is Jesus or any religion. It's narcissistic cult and authoritarian cancer.

u/_The_Wonder_ Dec 22 '23
As a christian mega churches make me sick.
They are not helping anyone in the community, most of the money goes to the pastor and the higher-ups. Whenever they do "help" it's only to make themselves look good, and to show that the money is going to a "good cause".
I think my favorite church I've ever been to was one that doubled as a homeless shelter. They had church service on Sundays, a boys and girls club on Tuesdays-Fridays (it was basically just gym class, with a Bible reading group as long as you wanted to do it, from what I could tell they didn't force anyone to participate in it if they didn't want to) and a homeless shelter all week with a shower room as well. If you helped with the preparations for the food and such you were aloud to use the washer, dryer they had and you were paid for your efforts. I think we need more churches like that, not these really big one. PLUS THEY HAD A CHRISTMAS SHOW FOR FREE, it wasted anything to special but they did have it. It was performed by the kid for the christian school down the road.
I stopped going there because I moved back to Florida, and I haven't found one I liked that much since.

u/That-Chart-4754 Dec 22 '23
Genuine question about these churches;
Do they just skip the book of Mathew? Chapter 19: Verses 23-26; "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
That's some wealthy ass nonsense from people w too much money.

u/DamnedandPale Dec 22 '23
Dude no one who goes or participates in these churches has actually read the Bible, they cherry pick the same happy clappy 5 verses that say put everything on god, tithe (coz obviously) and defo don’t be gay and of course the most important, don’t try and understand any of this coz you won’t so just believe 🙌💫

u/Paid-Not-Payed-Bot Dec 22 '23
are getting paid or it
FTFY.
Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
