    If every church in America housed 2.5 unhoused people the crisis would be solved overnight.

    Who am i kidding though, American churches don’t exist to help people they exist to tax tithe people

      When I feed the poor, I’m called a Saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, I’m called a communist.

      The quote is by a priest from South America. I think about that alot when I think about church.

      To be fair, a lot of small community churches or other religious shelters seem to do a lot more than anyone else about the problem.

      Churches are a social hate group. I love faith, especially when you have to do the spiritual work yourself, but organized faith corrupts the mind and soul.
