When American Christians get to the afterlife and meet god …
They wouldn’t get to meet God. They’d go straight to hell.
I think God would want to meet them just to see the look on their face when he told them they were going to hell.
Fitting since he belongs there himself
Not a fan of the trope of having to wait to see saint Peter before getting thrown into the pits?
That’s ridiculous, even Jesus thought so.
And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”
Matthew 21:12-13 (Source)
Last time I attended a service all I could think was, “How would you explain that you spent $250,000 on the sound system?”
Took my step-son to that same church to witness me voting, trying to set an example. It was like a mini-mall in there.
Sarcastic child: “Dude! Do they have a Starbucks too?!”
… I think they usually do have a coffee shop.
i’m a church musician lately and the one i play at puts a pot of regular and a pot of decaf on. what they have isn’t bad for drip coffee, but that’s where they are.
and most of us in the band are of the “coffee? COFFEeE!!” persuasion so they really don’t even need good drip coffee, but eventually we’d start bringing our own grounds and it’d become a thing.
part of me wants to find one with a coffee shop now, but i really dislike those services.
I think this is the first time I’ve encountered a church musician on Lemmy. What instrument(s) do you play?
so currently i’m just a bass specialist in english handbells. i also sing, i am not great at bass guitar and i just got my sax out of the attic a few months ago and am still rusty. way back in my school days i worked my way through the district’s set of instruments and taught myself how to play everything they had except the double reeds. not necessarily well, but enough that if i wanted to get competent it would only take a couple weeks.
Around a decade ago I went to church with my parents. They don’t go to a mega church but it is a large church in a Texas suburb. My mom offered to buy me a cup of coffee. I thought she was making that silly joke about “buying” me a cup because, it’s a church, coffee is free right? No. She actually paid money for coffee at church. And it was a goddamned k-cup.
This was last year right? Assuming this year will be even bigger and more batshit
They turned the church into a circus.
Jenny Nicholson had a good video about this a while back.
Had to rewatch. All time great
So they donate money to be entertained? There is already an industry for that.
Don’t you remember that bible story? Where he got the bread and fish, gave the food to his friends, then flew around to flex on the poors?
It not like this fly over system costs very much. Compared to the huge building and technology they install. I am fully against Church and religion in general, but flying Santa isn’t too spectacular. The private jets, buildings the size of Amazon warehouses that actually cost…
Maybe, but the small things do add up. Insurance rate increases due to high risk aerial performances, coordinator/safety team, etc.
What in the ragety-anne-fuck is going on there?
I don’t know and I don’t give a french fried titty fuck
Wow they really hate the poor
I didn’t know a mime getting hanged was in the Bible. Gotta feel bad for the French even their god hates them.
These people are all damned to Hell.
They are creating it on Earth.
What if they were already sent to help for their sins, and this is it, but they don’t realise it?
So make sure when you say you’re in it but not of it
You’re not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children’s grandchildren And their great-great grandchildren will tell
Looks like the set of The Righteous Gemstones.
People are gonna watch The Righteous Gemstones and think it’s a documentary
It is.
