A lot of women who have kids are single moms.

^Voila, a flaw in the study.

Bill Maher made a funny: "Gender-fluid to most of America means the stuff that comes out when someone has a wet dream."

Gender fluid should only come up when deciding who sleeps on the wet side of the mattress

mostly evident during Biden commentary

You know what grinds my gears as an agnostic?

When people criticize a churches use of tithing for not spending a majority of it on humanitarian aid. Tithing isn't a humanitarian donation, it's money so the church can run it's facilities and sustain it's faculty.

That would be like criticizing the government for not spending all of it's money on welfare.

It’s actually for furthering Jesus’ message on earth. That can take many forms from paying leaders of the church, sending people on mission trips, or community charity efforts. It very often is all of those

But yeah church isn’t a coat drive-esque charity

Likewise it isn’t a business like Joel Osteen’s church seems to be

I would say that the church's existence in and of itself is a humanitarian aid

Obviously antitheists would disagree

Joel Osteen 🤢

Agreed

Just seeing that guy’s face makes me cringe

Joel Osteen is running a scam on the level that makes the Televangelists of the eighties and nineties look like chumps.

Honestly I'm not sure why people seem to have an exceptional problem with Joel Osteen. Sure I have disagreements with him but all I've heard is something about him supposedly saying give me money and God will make you rich which seems like a strawman I've never seen him say

The problem parts of the church have with him is that he is teaching a false gospel.

He's exactly the kind of false apostle Paul, Peter, and others wrote about

He’s a “prosperity preacher”. Rather than preach about doing good works because of your love of God as James said, he claims that if you do good things then God will bless you. Which is essentially an eastern philosophy and in no way scriptural

^^

Yeah but ultimately why would you become a Christian in the first place, obviously you see some kind of benefit to you in it, it isn't necessarily material or Earthly but at some level it benefits you, otherwise why would someone who isn't a Christian and doesn't already love God become Christian? I find the theology of those who rail against the "prosperity gospel" equally lacking and ultimately disingenuous

It's a false gospel because it doesn't come from Christ.

I don't know I find the complete opposite position sounds a bit like a Gnostic heresy so I'm not convinced that isn't a false gospel either

Would anyone care if churches didn't get tax exemptions?

I actually think that might be better since it's been used to stop political speech by churches

Go ahead and tax churches. Be prepared for Appalachian taliban.
