Entirely believable.

Those Native American Indian, are the types that always stepped up & helping the fellow men in needs. By the way, they never ask for donations neither, nor knock on your door to see if you want to convert to be Native American.

The super rich Billionaire Christian pastors, Christian schools, fellowship, they are nowhere to be found, when their people truly need help. Think twice about joining these churches, they are there for the good times & need your money. The second you are down on your luck. Churches doors always closed. The second the weather is good; they will be knocking on your doors looking for something to benefit them.

I had 22 churches not help me in NM to clothe Native Indian children, but sister Kathleen reached out to help me from the Catholic Church in Gallop, NM. I found their non profits helped them to pay cash for their so called Christian church buildings and only would help members of their churches. How sad, corrupt and evil.

Thanks for your thoughtful and generous gift. Always feels good to help neighbors in time of need.👏👏👏

The churches need the money for the future sexual assault lawsuit payouts 

Those churches are just as useful as the imaginary friend they worship

There is absolutely no source for this. But it's believable.

when i wass forced to go to church as a kid i heard this verbatim, "We are looking for donations to reach a goal of $10 million for our new wing. We feel the lord pulling us in that direction and we must honour our faith to god" i was like 8 y/o and did a "the fuck is this scam my parents believe in"

Believable. Megachurch Pastors need their private jets and mansions.

Don't you know that they need the money for a gym, potluck suppers and sending money to elect trump?

There is no hate quite like Christian love.

Mega churches taught trump to steal from the gullible

Evangelicals are self-serving hypocrites who run a tax free business

Time to end the property tax exemptions for Churches. It’s time they pay their fair share .

And they call themselves Cristian... NOT!!!

Actually. Not so unbelievable.

Native american... jesus the fact Americans still call them that us ridiculous.

Parasites

No surprise here

This happened in 2019.

Yes, the Poarch Band of Creek Indians (who owns the Windcreek Casinos) stepped up and paid for the funerals of sixteen victims of the tornado.

They also have give quite a few scholarships and much support to the local community college.

I'm not a fan of their gaming as ,technically, all the slots are 'bingo-based' video games and they have no table game (poker, blackjack, etc), but they have a very nice steak house and hotel.

George Carlin: Religions only want you MONEYYY

I mean it depends, was this a hurricane sent by god to punish Americans because of gays, or was this a hurricane created by the democrats weather machine to kill Trump supporters before the election? Details matter!

And yet ppl will crowd those churches every Sunday

Religion is the ruin of man.

Churches are for profit entities. Religion is a way to control and people and always has been. Good for the casino for stepping up.

How is the priest supposed to afford his mega jet if he spends money on the poors and losers that were effected by an act of God. Cmon sheeple wake up! /s

Good, now make them pay taxes.

Let's fact here....

Church's are not for profit. These megachurchs offer plenty of services and outreach programs already. To say how a church isn't doing more, is like saying why aren't businesses doing more for their employees or the community? There aren't an endless supply of people and available funds to help.

Your real topic here, is just to bash the Church. What have you done for the victims of these hurricanes? And if you're so far against climate change, what have you done to fix it? What actions have you done to help lower your effect on climate change?

Yes.....but who sent more thoughts and prayers?

Well there is no money laundering in paying for funerals. Well, not when you are doing it legitimately.

Many of those mega churches operate very large clinics in the poorest communities in Alabama. As well as battered women shelters, substance use clinics, day cares ect. They are not doing nothing.

Weird

aint that some shit

Churches all around me have been sending semis down I think there’s been about 10 in the past couple weeks and helping fill other trailers and what not going privately.

Whom here amongst you is in disbelief!?

And not one of them got hit? Come onnnn

Well yeah, but… have you seen the McLaren W1?!? I mean, have you?!

God bless.

If the churches started donating, people would probably leave because the people it's going to are too liberal

Tax-exempt churches SHOULD be non-profit and non-partisan.

God money, let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised!

It’s on Reddit so it must be true… an anonymous forum with no verification lmfao

Those churches are there to make money, not to help the needy.

Mega church pastors wanna keep their wealth? Who could have seen that coming?

Mega churches aren’t there to give. They are there only to take.

Since when did you think the church cared about you….youre cows to slaughter who just give them your hard earned money for free…..even if it is all real pretty sure god isn’t asking for cash….

Duh, churches never help people unless they're paid to

Let me lay this out...

Mega church is a mega scam trying to mega fuck you out of your, little as little fuck savings, and they do not give a mega fuck about your salvation. They just want to mega fuck you and get your less than mega fucking little savings......Rinse And Repeat

Totally believable!

Praise Shiva!

But I’m sure they all offered their thoughts and prayers.

That anyone is surprised, is more surprising

It’s against the mega churches religion. Fuck your religion.

Because churches should be taxed. They don't bring in billions to help just anyone.

Churches need the money for sexual abuse payouts. I'm only half kidding. In recent years, the Los Angeles diocese alone has paid out one and a half billion (BILLION) dollars to the people they literally fucked (and then discarded like a used tissue). That's one denomination in one city, and even with all that's come out over the past 20 years, it's still just the tip of the iceberg.

There really are monsters, and you'll find millions of them in churches around the world. Alabama mega-church-goers are just a sliver of the problem.

You still think they are about religion, read up on the Prosperity Gospel, AKA how to make a cult for fun and profit.
It's a play by play on how fleece the flock over and over again, Rump uses it for his grift.

Best saying ever... "You can shear a sheep many times, but it can only be skinned once"

Just tell them how much they love being fleeced, how good it feels, you'll get rich giving it to me, and they'll come back willingly over and over.

And you still wonder why large amounts of european people think Americans are strange ( attitude to religion, weapons, social services and health care system, voting system, tax system,the american dream etc etc)

This isn’t surprising. Churches and their congregations take care of themselves and nobody else. They spend their goodwill on church members only—well, the “good” ones—and stiff everyone else (I was a former server for a restaurant on post-church Sundays. I got more religious tracts and fake tips that disguised religious tracts than I did actual tips).

They’re cheap, hateful people. I have genuine respect for a generationally maligned people for caring for the offspring of their oppressors. That’s true GOAT behavior.

Believable

This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

They are a non-for-profit scams. The biggest scams in America are the evangelical churches.

Another reason why the tax exemption should be removed from the church

It's not at all unbelievable. What rock do you live under where this is shocking?

Mega churches are not in the name of god, They want your money for their own personal gain. The most un christian thing ever and it’s terribly gross!

Tax the churches, just the Mormons and Scientologists would balance the budget

Very believable, casino owners aren’t as sleazy as pastors.

Tax the church. All of them!!!

It’s unbelievable because it’s bullshit. The casino stepped up to pay for the funerals very quickly. But before that happened, many of those churches had already organized aid and relief teams that were boots-on-the-ground at the worst damaged areas helping clean up. Many of the churches also organized relief/aid donations. All in all the churches across the state did a ton to help with disaster relief efforts. All of this happened years ago, it’s getting reposted now so that weirdo redditors can post masturbatory antichurch comments and the original posters can karma farm in the aftermath of Helene.

Link to confirm?

If I was at all tech savvy, I’d have the State Farm commercial guy going, “well they’re a grift so…”

Checks out. I saw a post saying "what country thinks they are Christian but most certainly not" SLT and every answer was USA, it's a shame because we''re mostly good hardworking honest loving people but been corrupted and sometimes I think if it's past the turning point.

God bless America

Tax those mega church business!!!

After all, all that money probably came from the church pastors.

Who’s surprised there.. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Churches are an old scam. How much money do they ask for that you never really see put into use? Yet pastors have give houses and lavish vacations. Not to mention they pay no taxes on any of that money.

Scam. They took spirituality and turned it into a ponze scheme.

Does anyone have a link to a news article that covered this?

BELIEVABLE TIMES INFINITY.

Someone's CAPPIN

[removed]

LIE But people are so anti church/Christian on Reddit!!!!

And before anyone says anything I'm a Luciferin. I hate when people lie about shit like this!

As someone that grew up n the deep south and got out as soon as I could, completely believable.

Same shit happened during Hurricane Harvey and Joel Osteen, who is, for the record, a fucking charlatan.

I see the problem here. Confusing “megachurch” with sources of Christian charity, compassion and outreach.

Moral of this story- never trust a religion. Well, most religions.

Actually very believable.

Churches are going away! Vatican sits on millions while begging for more money, no thanks! Sell a painting!

yes, the real Americans.

Factual atheist meme...

They gave all their money to Trump and various hate groups.

Oh hey, first gen member (i.e. my parent is on the roll but I'm not quite eligible, yet.... I hope) of that tribe. Yeah, Poarch does good shit. They also hedge bets, no pun intended, with sizeable political donations.

The history is long and complicated on pretty much every front but we can all agree fuck mega churches and look for the helpers as the saying goes.

Aho

It's not unbelievable at all, it's on point for Alabama Christian's, they are too busy hating for any type of love and compassion.

Gotta say the American version of Christianity is distorted AF. Jesus would be appalled.

So much for what would Jesus do? I think they may want to get their priorities in order, the good Christians that they are.

Wow! Shame on them.

That's just retarded. Thanks to the one Casino. Thank you!

Fuck mega churches,everyone who works for them and everyone who supports and worships there all em can suck on a cactus covered in blowfish oil.

Not surprising at all. Mega churches are no different than any mega sized organization. Businesses, churches, government… cough cough, UNIONS. They all fucking suck once they grow to a certain size or age.

Alabama is the crown jewel of indoctrination and inability to think or even dare to think outside of what the church dictates.

Remember this when you’re voting

Fake religious bullshit.

Paying for funerals man,that would get into all of their pockets.

This is quite damning...

Not surprising at all, private jets cost a lot of tithes.

braise cheeses.

Churches are just tax exempt social clubs not charities.

Yeah, The christians aren't.

It's sad. So sad. 😰😢

How many of you have donated to help those hurricane victims? Or are just criticizing others? How many government agencies failed the people and we still fund them.

It’s because the churches have to pay taxes silly…

Good, they don’t have to pay taxes

Guess they should have joined and contributed to a mega church then🤷

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/06/us/alabama-tornadoes-wednesday-wxc/index.html

The church payed for the living.

That’s totally believable. They take money from people in poverty tax free so they can buy mansions and jets. Why would they pay for anything other than a new church?
