@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 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.
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 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 “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 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 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.
