As a person of faith, I have been horrified to watch Christianity’s fall from grace in mainstream America. The former president’s legacy stands out as an embodiment of what is missing today from our leaders in Congress, and in church.
Yup. I’m of the opinion that that Jesus fellow (at least to the extent we can see in the Bible) was a pretty cool dude. But Christianity seems to reject pretty much all his teachings.
These statistics are difficult to measure accurately but we believe there are about 770,000 homeless Americans and as far as the oracle can tell me there are 350-400k churches. If Christians did Christianity right churches would provide shelter and community integration/engagement for the homeless. Each church only needs to help two people and most congregations have 30+ people.
Christianity could trivially solve homelessness, they just chose not to.
hey now let’s not go too far… they should be taxed at the level any other business is taxed at, and their philianthropic endeavours should receive the same tax breaks as any other business too… if they’re entirely charitable (their existence is not by and of itself charitable) then they’re entirely charitable

At the minimum they should be taxed at the highest bracket. They’re just cult tax shelters for white conservatives.

Raise the taxes on the other businesses to match the 1950s marginal rates
also yes
Homeless people aren’t nearly as evenly distributed as churches are.
Hrm, that’s true. Maybe we could just auction off all the churches to raise funds to house all the homeless people.
