When American Christians get to the afterlife and meet god ....

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)

"Christians": Put Christ back in Christmas!!!!

Also "Christians": More flying elves, and the magical reindeer's nose needs to shine brighter!

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?!"

This was last year right? Assuming this year will be even bigger and more batshit

They turned the church into a circus.

So they donate money to be entertained? There is already an industry for that.

Jenny Nicholson had a good video about this a while back.

Y'know I actually enjoyed when churches would put on (actually) funny skits or silly Christmas plays for outreach or whatever because like, entertainment is a universal communication medium, and what's wrong with having a little fun along the way?

But that was on the order of your local middle school production, maybe. Cardboard, craft paint, and a lot of suspension of disbelief. :p

This "Cirque du Holé" business in gigantic "campuses" is embarrassing. Like that time all those churches loaned out a literal micro roller coaster to each other for. . .some reason. . .?

What a grift.

Stuff like this is why I don't publicly practice my faith with a specific lineage of Christ believers. Money corrupts if there is not honor or values. Also fuck them for not actually using to help people but themselves. That's why I want to remove Tax exempt status from mega churches. (Not the smaller churches, just the mega ones.)

Wow they really hate the poor

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....

What in the ragety-anne-fuck is going on there?

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?

I didn't know a mime getting hanged was in the Bible. Gotta feel bad for the French even their god hates them.

Is this an actual service or just an event provided by the church? Staging plays is a social task that can be serviced by a church.

Very American and over the top, still.

Panem & circenses…

Looks like the set of The Righteous Gemstones.

These people are all damned to Hell.

People are gonna watch The Righteous Gemstones and think it's a documentary

Putting up a literal show for the believers. Look at the shiny thing, and give us money!

Murka don't needem none of that Woke Communist Fake News Christianity. Jesus was a ripped alpha male who beat up on weaklings for fun, and told the poors to get a job!

What in the actual three-ring-fuck is going on in this picture?

I know that church doesn't have to be as solemn as a funeral, but still... unless these production levels are generating millions for charity, I can't imagine how people are just okay with this.

If Jesus returned from the dead he would be anti-Christian.

How much further from actual Christian values can modern Christianity get?

Ok I thought they were hanging Ronald McDonald in effigy

But only by suffering enough will the poor be worthy. Then they’ll magically lift themselves up out of poverty.

So heap suffering on them!

Oh look, I guess they were never worthy…

What a golden calf.

And somehow Palpatine returned.
