The idea that churches are using money for this, rather than helping people in need is repugnant

Come on, it is just a measly 700 million dollars! Imagine how many more tithers we could get in here to... help even more of the poors! Now if you will excuse me I have to go receive my new private jet.

Ya’ll have ads for Jesus in the US? That is crazy as fuck.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes but they are widely ridiculed and are great material for satire

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world -3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And they're also very effective, apparently.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Sarcasm? Religious membership has been in decline in the USA for a long time and the fact that they make these ads in the first place stinks of desperation.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Like with all ads, if they didn't work they wouldn't keep happening.

Actually, marketing is a great way to make it LOOK like things are working. Your comment is exactly what a shareholder might hear in response to that same question.

Whats wild is that I'd seriously consider going to church and playing make believe with them if they were putting 700mil towards like feeding and housing people. I wouldn't even make fun of it or break kayfabe if I felt like being there was accomplishing anything worthwhile

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

But they don't want to feed and house people, that's pointless. Jesus said there will always be poor and suffering. But saving SOULS is FOREVER, and dying unsaved is irreversible!

It makes perfect sense in the context of their theology.

I fucking hate it.
