    I believe that this is part of the Christian dogmatic pipeline. If you require social services, check your closest church. And of course you will need to be a member in good standing to keep access… Etc

      My former religion used to do this a lot. to the point people I didn’t know who heard I was one of them, would ask about these kinds of services. The church doesn’t do any of it anymore. they stopped all their charity efforts of this kind as it doesn’t line up with American Republican values, and those are clearly more important than shit Jesus said. reading any manuals, teaching plans, and so forth that the church puts out makes this abundantly clear. Used to be Mormon. Finally gave up with the anti-lbgtq bullshit and the church hording tithes. literally against the dogma and doctrines of the church. 100%. They still teach in Sunday school for kids that tithes stay local and help people in need Mormon or not. it’s a full on lie at this point. Other than child abuse lawsuits I’m not sure the church spends money on anything.

      It’s also convenient that churches tend to be de facto segregated by race. We’re not racist, we just setup institutions that happen to work in racist ways.

      “That should be the role of the church!” The church proceeds to not do what they said it should.
