I was interested in go to church tomorrow for the first time in over a decade - mostly due to a recent breakup, and fuck it, why not? Unfortunately all the churches near me are either mega church subchains, or would likely be spewing hatred due to the other lovely holiday happening tomorrow.
While I expected the latter, I’m disappointed by the former. I’m curious to hear anybody’s experiences finding or having faith while having a distaste for capitalism.
It's pretty fortunate that my local church was built in and has been continually maintained since the 12th century. I have once driven past a mega-church when I was on occupied Turtle Island, and it just left a bad taste in my and mine's mouths — so I don't think this is necessarily just a capitalism thing, because mega-churches tend to be built in a very specific type of country, and Europe by and large ain't that type of location.
