    I don’t at all understand churches advertising… Maybe because of my European ass? To my knowledge churches are not about profit? I get that you want to announce your service times and such, but put that in a small column in a newspaper for the ones interested or something lol

            USA gotta export its worse ideas abroad, after all. For-profit churches, flat earth, antivaxx

            More like someone in Europe realizing that they could import something from America and it’d catch on like an invasive plant species with no local ecological resistance.

      American megachurches are for-profit multimedia empires, doomsday cults, illegal political influence organizations, human trafficking rings, and shields for those who commit sex crimes, in an expensive, tailored trenchcoat.

      That’s an ad for Mormons. The Mormons are a corporation disguised as a church that has gained extreme wealth. They own a huge real estate empire, universities, and farms plus over a hundred billion in one investment fund.

      Thy have been caught numerous times breaking all sorts of financial laws but because of their status as a church it’s hidden.

      For the Mormons it’s all about profit and hoarding wealth.
