Lol ok Joe, I'll give u credit for actually citing sources that back what u say, although I'm overlooking the fact that they're mainly all blogs and hardly unbiased.

But ok, so the church has been taking money from its members and in ur estimation not putting that money back into the community. How does ur assertion of changing the ideologies inherently support economic growth? Christianity as a doctrine isn't antithetical to economic empowerment . Ur issue is with people/pastors more so than the actual faith

The early church never stood as a means of being an engine of economic power nor should it.

Billions of dollars inhaled by black churches and very little to show for it is acceptable?

Ideology/spirituality and economic growth is intertwined. Look at the Jews and Arabs. Also, practicing your oppressors religion will still keep you oppressed. I was miserable as a Baptist Christian. The Orthodox at least gives you the Bible in full and you have a better understanding. Also, practicing Judaic customs is better in my view because you are going back to tradition.

Tithing and giving an offering is biblically based , which is the foundation the church was built upon.

I do agree that churches should serve the people the same way that Jesus was a servant and in that regard yes there are many churches that are taking much more than they are serving. On the other hand I also believe that the fact that churches are still of the world and have bills is lost in a lot of ppl. In orderfor the church to operate and exist to fulfill any type of purpose they need lights, heat, maintenance, etc. Clergymen are also entitled to a salary. I won't defend the position that every dollar the church receives goes to good use, but with the exception of mega churches, church is supported by it's members. When ur members r mostly all low income it can be very difficult to aggregate the funds it requires to act as a social catalyst. I don't believe that the majority of churches are collecting a giant surplus , unless ur td jakes or creflo dollar.

In response to that, the 10% I can deal with. However, going over that is greed and unbiblical. There's a reason why I call most of these churches, "the hood trickle-down economics". That money needs to used to build businesses in the African-American communities.

When is the last time uve been to a black church in the hood ? I'm not going to debate u as to whether the church helps the black community as a whole, but for individual black ppl struggling in day to day life fellowship and spirituality keeps them grounded and sane. It's the last bit of hope and something to look forward to that they have.

Basically it's a opioid huh. Something to keep them from raising up and breaking free, just remain in bliss.

When China wanted to break free of white imperialism they had to ban opioid use...

One thing I've never got is why pastors and stuff cant get regular jobs. IIRC Paul in the Bible made tents to earn his way. Why shouldn't they just get part time jobs?
