Holy shit, I hate religion as much as the next guy but the one time a church is actually doing something good they get strapped with this bullshit.
It’s more than one time. A good number of churches actually run soup kitchens, donate to those in need, and are inclusive to all. I’m not religious, I just feel like these kinds of churches aren’t as well represented in media. That being said, just like people, churches can be as charitable as they are intolerant.

I haven’t seen many churches actually doing these things. Most churches are NOT inclusive to all and only a small portion of them run soup kitchens.
I helped my grandma run an area soup kitchen for a few days as a kid. Just like homeless shelters most people don’t notice them because they don’t need that service. Shit I had no idea we did that before I actually helped out
”So, my concern would be, ‘Hey, let’s make sure we’re representing Christ well in all of this.’ We’re a church, you know. This is what we do,” Avell said.
Republican Jesus has taken over the US Supreme Court, while following the teachings of the actual Jesus gets you charged with a crime.
Every day the corrupt stray further from the light of God. It’s not even a religious concept. Just be a good person. That’s all Jesus ever asked, and it’s the same thing an ethics professor will tell you. Just choose to be good.
Why is it so hard? And why do so many evil people, especially fallen religious people, obsess about punishing people who choose to be good and loving in their little corners of the world? Why is that even your business?
Jesus didn’t just ask people to be good. If you really delve into the new testament with a critical eye, you may notice that Jesus was a bit of a dick throughout. He calls people derogatory names, condemns innocent and unknowing souls to an eternity in hell to prove a point and force others to follow him, he is a total copyright troll; flipping tables and condemning followers who make a buck selling Jesus merch, he’s a classic mooching street urchin character who convinces working men to give up on their careers to become vagabond beggars, and you gotta be a huge narcissist to do the whole ‘eat of my flesh and drink ofy blood’ bit. Really, Jesus’ followers are exactly like him; control freaks with NPD and a grudge against humanity for not following them blindly, who make themselves victims to prove a point.
Red states seem to just hate people
A court filing states the building is zoned as Central Business, and people are not allowed to eat, wash clothes or sleep on the property.
Always bureaucracy.
‘Love thy neighbour’ doesn’t apply to the homeless, I guess. Except that it does, especially.
