"erm don't you mean tax ALL churches?"
no
legitimate places of worship (e.g. small local churches) that actually strive to help their communities and give charitably as Christ commanded and don't hoard money for themselves shouldn't be taxed.
megachurches and franchise churches should.

MAGA exploits the same dynamics as the religion industry (yes, I did say industry because that's what these megachurches are).

Paul Lance explains EXACTLY how the megachurch industry hooks you in. It's a concert and the things you feel (very similar to the feelings you get at a rock concert) are mistaken for a spiritual experience. Megachurches are the unholy child of capitalism & religion.

HAS to be one of the Texas megachurches.
A spectator got kicked in the face by a camel at a church production and is that a sign, a ble$$ing, or both?

Makes sense. The Evangelical megachurches look distinctly unappealing.

Meanwhile, the fundamentalist denominations (or their offshoots) that eschew Catholicism's architecture are putting millions into megachurches with a sports stadium aesthetic. (They tend to brand themselves as nondenominational but they are essentially Baptist).

Yeah theres plenty of megachurches where i live. Was forced to frequent one my whole childhood. It always reeked of fake smiles and empty words.

It's because it's a business. Where I used to live was nothing but megachurches everywhere, and they sold merch and everything.

I’m sorry your southern parents raised you with a shallow and shitty interpretation of Christianity, but there’s more to spirituality than Megachurches full of people kissing Republican ass.

I could see it crashing through if there start to form serious cohorts inside homogenous megachurches where people start openly talking about how much they hate this shit

Someone, Harp Marx? said religion is the opium of the masses. Prosperity gospel and megachurches are the Oxycodone and Fentanyl of religions opioids.

And yet the GOP still gets to call itself the party of “Family Values” and “Christianity” in part because the (basically blasphemous) Megachurches and White Evangelical Christians are their foot soldiers and in part—to your point—because Dems don’t want to talk about it.

There's nothing wrong with preaching being theatrical, as long as the core message comes from careful academic work, and isn't there just for self-aggrandizement of the preacher. This is how the megachurches are with their super rich, often grifting, often abusive, celebrity pastors. 🧵

Homiletics is the study of the art of preaching. This video is a really effective (and funny) homiletical deconstruction of megachurch preaching style, without delving into the theology. Though, this isn't restricted to just megachurches.

que é claramente um filme sobre catolicismo feito por um protestante + que provavelmente foi escrito como comentário sobre megachurches protestantes e adaptado pra se adequar a uma igrejinha catolica depois
