I’ve been saying this for years.

Boost and fav if you agree!

@godpod she didn't say it I'll be proud enough to say it. I love you EL our God and king! Yes and even so
@godpod would it have a Starbucks?

@godpod I've only ever looked up to one Catholic preacher. The things he built up were a shelter for indigent elders, another one for orphans, and a third for single pregnant moms who need an alternative to abortion. He does his preaching in rented venues.

I think he's doing it right.

@godpod yasssssss I found you 🖤❤️
@godpod Feeling quite impotent aren’t ya boobala
@godpod better yet, build actual housing! I feel like lots of people don't realize that homeless shelters are just a place to stay for the night.
@godpod
I say PPV a Joel Osteen live event
Where his assets are auctioned for your cause while he and the Mrs are forced to wait outside with no Iphones
Might work ?
@godpod those maga church looks like the anti ... just sayin.

@godpod Praise The Lord and Hallelujah!!

May your words open hearts and banish greed.

In spite of Elon's Space Kadet fantasies, we have so much work to do just amongst us humans here on Earth.

A safe, warm (or cool) home for all is not much to ask.

Suggestion: Deny all Mega Churches' building or remodeling permits until they have created truly affordable housing, especially for the homeless and other fellow humans, that is equal to the size of their churches forevermore.

Glory!

Amen.

@godpod it's a good joke but I feel like our tendency for mega solutions across the board is part of the problem. Instead of "mega homeless shelters" why not do a "mega" number of "micro" affordable housing options serving each neighborhood. Eg: Let each city block manage its own small, manageable number of unhomed folks, vs trying to forget unhomed folks exist by trying to hide them away in some dystopian mega shelter on the other side of town (gee I wonder which side of town it would be on).

@godpod

A fair percentage of homeless are wary of institutional shelters because of rules/regulations and most often of rightful fear of being harmed or subjects of thievery from their fellow dorm-mates. (Not all institutions have overnight security.)
Huntington WV has a better, yet small handle on this with individual apartments and subsidies. Gives them an address (!), privacy, security.

@godpod TRANSLATION: build Mega Homeless shelters = Get a few sins forgiven and better chance for heaven entry no prayer needed! Act Now! Forgiveness like this is in limited supply!
@godpod
I'm not a follower, but I agree with you.
@godpod disagree, is not a question of have a roof but health care including physiological health, then work skills and also roof and meals
3 months tops unless there is a serious pathology, if so, send to a public health program
Homeless need contention and challenges to take care of them selfs if possible
@godpod you build it, you're god
@godpod frankly I’m astonished that people fall for their con and continue to fund them
@godpod The USA has 500,000 homeless people and 16,000,000 vacant homes. We don't need more homeless shelters, we need to stop the wealthy from hoarding houses.
@godpod To paraphrase Ghandi, Christians are so unlike Christ
@godpod put Christ back in Christian

@godpod You mean mega permanent supportive housing, right?

'Cause I wouldn't have thought you'd be into stopgap measures that don't solve anything.

@godpod I'm gonna build my own church, with blackjack and hookers, and a homeless shelter...on second thought, forget about the blackjack!
@godpod corporate churches robbing believers = QVC robbing your grandparents of money by offering shit as seen on TV bullshit.
@godpod
"boost and fav" cmon man, this isn't Twitter.
@godpod Spot on and a big AMEN to that, God! 👊🏼‼️👍🏽‼️❤️‼️
@godpod or just housing and a universal basic income.
@godpod shelters? Shelters do fuck all but keep people in poverty. Build affordable communal housing.
@godpod Indeed. And stop the mega church pastors from flying away in helicopters at times of natural disasters
@godpod how do you feel about mega football stadiums built in Qatar you all mightyness? David Beckham seems to think there is nothing wrong and has been paid lots of money to think so ..

@godpod “Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord Almighty. Malachi 1

"With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings...? He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6

@godpod why don't you come down here and build it yourself you old hag?

Everything you've ever done for "your people" is to TELL them what to do.

You never did anything.

@godpod seriously! You go God lol

@godpod with all due respect Most High, but in the tradition of Abraham,

"Far be it from me to speak, but what if we build a regular capacity safe shelter with trauma informed best practices, privacy, and dignity, and then save the mega for well built permanent affordable housing that provides a way into safe and sustainable housing? Surely then everyone would see that you are just and on the side of reducing root causes and would glorify your name." #housing4all

@godpod {gasp} I didn’t know you were here as well!!
@godpod It's kinda weird to be so whole-heartedly agreeing with an entity I don't actually believe exists.😁
@godpod But how will they get their tenth jet?!
@godpod This is the most egregious example of “religion” gone wrong. IMHO the most disgusting expenditure of members 10% donations. The Mormon Temple in San Diego.
@Miragee @godpod I remember feeling sick visiting cathedrals in Europe, the amount of gold and labor that went into those while most people were living subsistence lives.
@godpod I wish I could boost this a thousand times. BTW Mega Churches aren’t new, St Paul’s and Notra Dame were the mega churches of their day and still are. Plenty of small churches existed...you know, the ones where you went to worship not just to be seen worshiping.

@godpod I’ve been saying for years:
All these beautiful, stained glass, golden churches are a crock of shit.
If they REALLY practiced what they preached, every church would be a windowless room with folding chairs. MAYBE a chalkboard.

Use the money to help people!! Pretty sure Jeus would be outraged by the ego waste.

@godpod or build affordable homes and social housing with a welfare net to stop fellow citizens from dying miserably. The UN spelt out a list of basic human rights many years ago, including shelter. Politicians, land owners, landlords, 'developers' and town/city planners had other ideas. God knows how we'll ever stop capitalist greed.
