Churches Are SCAMS!!

You see my burning money image. That's because of today's topic; how Churches are scams. Going to Church is all fine and dandy, but the leaders of the Church are wrong for asking for money. People will do anything to make themselves feel better about themselves, including believing and following, some religion that regularly asks for money. I was raised in a home that went to church every Sunday and every holiday and oh man, I was bored to tears. As I began to get older, I started realizing being bored wasn't the worst part, not by a long shot. People would blindly throw money in a basket without even realizing where it was going. The worst part to me, was that never once did anybody ask what it was going towards. For all they knew, it was going towards the Pastor's new Nokia 5110 cell phone. 

Reckless Spending

There are so many more useful things that the money could have gone towards; Little Jimmy's college fund, Aunt Margie's next Colonoscopy, or even just giving money to a homeless shelter; just to help people who can't afford the luxuries of literally throwing money away every Sunday. To me, doing this is extremely selfish. At this point, you're just "donating" money to keep yourself faithful and saved in the "Lord's" eyes. Most likely, you also feel guilty you didn't give money to that man sleeping under newspaper last week. I can't even begin to imagine how much money that congregation would have as a whole today, had they not thrown away money. 

Cut The Crap

I do not have a problem with people preaching their faith in private environments, but when you have a so called "Priest" promising everlasting afterlife without any proof, and people are blindly following him there is a problem. I don't understand why people can't have their ceremonies at their homes with a couple people. Why does there need to be a huge show put on every Sunday, when people can have gathering at their homes? If they would smarten up, think a little for themselves, and stop being controlled by senseless social "norms", then I think the world would be a better place. It would be less corrupt and less money hungry.

Specific Fraud Cases

There have been cases of church fraud all over the globe. Did you know that worldwide, churches lose $50 million a year to crime inside of the church? That's right everybody, people from inside the church steal their own money and the people in charge of the "books" know this. They see this happening, yet it isn't reported. Why isn't it reported you ask? They figure if they report it, people will realize what's happening, and when they see the truth, they will stop coming to the church and stop donating. So, next time they see Father Frankie on his off day walking about with his new Rolex, they know where that came from.

To Wrap Up

So basically, if you think about everything that was said, then you'll realize religion is solely based off getting money. They claim to be nonprofit, but how could they really be nonprofit when they steal from their "Sunday Donation Basket"? It's crazy to think that people could idly sit by and let this happen to their hard earned money. Sadly, most of the people who go to church give away their last dollar because they think it's going toward something to serve the greater good. They just don't realize that Tammy the Secretary just dipped into the church fund to buy herself a brand new pair of high heels. To be honest I think that churches are wrong for this and they should be held accountable for letting this happen. Anyway, that's enough for today, I'll see you guys in the next one 😊
