How are you all doing? Anything exciting you wanna share? Anything you wanna share that's not so exciting but rather frustrating instead?
Spill it all here, comrades.

death to televangelism/evangelical megachurches. genuinely. i hate them with every fiber of my being.
wait why? (CW: mentions of islamophobia, isntreal, queerphobia, SA)
disclaimer: i'm not personally affected by any of these points, though i have family that have been conned as well as family that continues to engage in this type of content. it's more that i see myself as somewhat knowledgeable about what actually happens, especially from a Western perspective
maybe i'll effortpost on this sometime
edit: added more points
Good news! We have them here in the imperial core, too! They even have their own TV networks and appearances on public access channels. And they do all the same kinds of shit (embezzlement, sexual abusing children, having political connections, etc.).
Mega churches were one of the main forces pushing to ban abortion and antivax campaigns.
yeah, they still have satellite TV channels, large YT channels and access to social media that gives them such a huge audience
yeah, i've seen a lot of anti-abortion and antivax rhetoric that is interpreted by them as being supported by the Bible
COVID-19 included; many pastors claimed/implied that the COVID-19 vaccine was the "mark of the beast" (Christian endtime thing where non-believers are unknowingly pressured to sign their soul to the devil and never go to heaven), of course after suggesting that Barack Obama was a false prophet lol
and to stoke fear and opposion to progressivism into churches, evangelical pastors have and still continue to present the endtimes as immiment with absurd Bible interpretations.
Good minieffort post, you got my eyes if you do make a longer post. I been to one megachurch growing up and the shear size still baffles me, easily biggest non government building I ever been in
thanks, i'll take a look at it in my free time
yeah it's crazy how large they can get! then televangelists will have a larger online audience too
