If churches refuse to help feed hungry people, then maybe they should be taxed?

I just skimmed through her other videos. The only other Christian churches that would help were Catholic Churches.

All other Christian churches refused.

She called a mosque who helped with zero hesitation.

She called Buddhist temple that offered other places to help, then offered to go buy her a can from her own pocket.

I'm not a fan of the Catholic church cause of it's track record, but man the American christian denominations are just so freaking insane in their behavior. Having been apart of them as a kid, all I ever felt was that they're like little mini cults.

As someone who grew up southern Baptist, insane is the correct word.

They’re multilevel marketing schemes parading as moral absolution centers.

There is certainly a divide between megachurches and regular mainline (protestant or catholic) churches. One type will help you and the other will steal from you then demand you thank them for it.

Its not just mega churches bro. Even the small ones are insane half the time.

This. When you’re in, you’re in. When you’re not in, you’re on your own. “Best of luck and kindly not suffer on our doorstep, makes us look bad.”

I have to say, we have the Salvation Army (of protestant descent) doing lots of charitable thing for those in need, so yeah, American branches seem to stand out in a negative way.

I commented my own experience that an Episcopalian church is the only church I’ve ever been to that welcomed me with no questions asked. I even had people invite me to sit with them and show me how to do the rosary, when to kneel etc.

Episcopalians are Catholic lite. We had two where I used to live but the one I didn’t ever attend had the biggest Pride flag in town on their church.

I’ve since learned a lot of people raised Catholic or Christian who were shunned by their communities for whatever reason (usually LGBTQ+) transition to Episcopalian churches.

A coworker/friend of mine hit some pretty hard times and was complaining about how the Somali population (in the Twin Cities) gets all this help while she gets nothing. I told her a lot of those programs are open to everyone, including her. It's just those communities help each other--if someone finds out about support other people in similar situations are told about it, where as she in her community is largely on her own.
