To me it’s a community coming together and pitching in to help their neighbors.
I don’t really see how they could effectively “buy off a politican” with that money, and I don’t see what one in their pocket would do.
While this has a concrete effect on hundreds of families.
The NGO just seems like they already have the infrastructure to locate the people who best need it and buy up the debt.
Churches aren’t really taxed right? So I don’t see why this would be some write off thing.
I dont think established churches are just communities helping their neighbors. By "buying a politician", I mean why hasnt anything materialized from established churches in the way of structural change. I dont see churches bending over backwards to advocate for socialized healthcare.
I dont mean that people are using the church donations for a write-off, but could people be using that debt relief NGO mentioned in the article to write off taxes? Isnt the church actively contributing to that NGO ecosystem of "non-profits"? Theyre not a community coming together, they dropped off two massive bags of money to some group that I have to assume didnt pocket some of the donation. And this isnt even in an effort to get people material resources, its too RELIEVE DEBT, something the government can just do.
And heyre not taxed either, which is something we might have to do if we socialise healthcare :soviet-hmm:
Maybe I'm grossly misinformed, but until then I will uphold neo-taborite thought :jesus-cleanse:
I mean…all that is true about underlying problems, but it’s not as if this episcopal congregation or the episcopal church at large can force the government to relieve debt.
I think they are doing what they can through imperfect means to try and help people.

Then they should shut the fuck up about their donations and advocate for socialized healthcare. Does it matter to tell your fellow christian how many souls you saved? Why not save MORE FUCKING SOULS.

Why so negative?
Because I'm a Catholic and I hate myself and other Christians. Thats basically it. Its hard to be positive about my faith and its legacy
:meow-hug:
Thanks, I hope I figure some way to reconcile things. Sorry for being hateful
