Wish churches were treated as what they were: for-profit psychic services that use fear mongering to sell shitty products, who use charities as fronts for their business.

Would anyone be interested in starting a "Church of Development". Where "god" is "the future", and we worship by making it better. Basically just a developmental coin charity that religiously works towards the future.

I am a certified minister and I will work to get non-profit status in my state, but here is the base for the organization, I already have 200 members:

If anyone wants to get married or exercise demons, I can legally do the ceremony Smiley

That sounds like the Church of Scientology.  However, having this opinion about all churches is fallacious.

Churches don't build themselves out of thin air. Having Rassah's philosophy about religion is fallacious, however, applying his statement to churches will always result in an accurate assessment.

My name was simply a play on "Blue Engineer" from Team Fortress. I am not affiliated with Microsoft or the Azure project.

The only reason Jesus threw out the moneychangers was because they were muscling in on his turf, religion is not really all that benevolent.
