Why the fuck does a church have a $2,000,000 solid gold tacky box anyway?

Pretty cool to decapitate the statue too. I like their style. Go big or go home.

      some religious institutions like the catholic church are actively malignant, child abusing, wealth-siphoning, hives, and looting luxury items bought with money scammed from their flock is cool and good

      Yeah like i said Catholic church is worse than most historicaly and contemporarily(and also closer to people in this sub culturaly) but these issues and descriptions apply very much so for most of the big religious institutions across the globe to such degrees that saying "In the catholic church's case its different" doesnt hold much water imo.

          Accumulation of luxury items from poor people's donations or exploitation by the isntitution itself (or even by conquest based on religious grounds) is again something all big religious institutions share historicaly. Im not saying to feel bad about this happening, just that imo the rhetoric and public position of socialists shouldnt be "This is good get owned lol" considering where the general religious public is and how far behind the left is regarding being able to influence and push towards helthier alternatives of religious expression and regarding breaking the connection between organized religious institutions and the masses.
