I was actually asked to leave my parents church because I was loudly arguing with the guy running a gift shop that if I were to follow Jesus, I should be flipping these tables, chasing them with whips, and damming them for turning gods house into a place of business occupied by thieves.
I guess they DON'T like considering what Jesus would do.
Gift shop... In a church... The Bars so low it's cracking the pavement.
I live in Australia and this has been a thing in every pentecostal church I've been to.
This happens at churches of enough historical significance they become regular tourist attractions.
So I'm in Canada and have never seen in a church but I have in a synagogue which made me chuckle because damn is it on point lol
So like, there was a church near where my grandma lives. Big super-church.
Has a fucking Starbucks in it.
So, the question I have, is where do the proceeds go, and how much is that guy making off it?
If the money for the merch goes to, say, feeding the homeless or even just the church’s general budget, I see it as a fundraiser, and not particularly offensive.
If the dude is pocketing the profits…. Yeah, fuck that dude.
The person at the desk is almost certainly a brainwashed unpaid volunteer. The owner, on the other hand…
Wasn't Jesus just some snotty god's bastard that god doesn't even move a finger to save from death? I suppose his opinions are irrelevant. God is the boss. And god loves money.
Well, if your catholic. Jesus IS God. Just to make a stupid story even more stupid.
A lot of protestants are into the trinity thing too.
I was not aware!
