Every food service job I have ever had was super strict about not letting you take home the food. It was always an instant fire with no warnings.

Many churches, mosques and synagogues opened their doors to people coming to protest the G20 in Hamburg. Ever since I knocked on the door of a church there in the middle of the night trying to avoid being arrested by the riot police, and the reverend welcomed me and led me to a full-on anarchist encampment on the church grounds with free food and places to sleep I've been a lot more nuanced in my thinking about individual local religious communities versus large-scale organized religion.

as a quick warning I will be posting capitalism pictures for pages on end in the catholic thread regardless of how many times I'm told to shut up, no one cares, or that it's the exact same photos already posted earlier in the thread

What's up with Japan anyway? It's rare to see any country doing worse at something than America, let alone one that's been having a lost decade for like 30 years or whatever

actually, this goes into my argument, because protestantism was more popular with the burghers as a class and more successful in areas where they were more powerful, because it took power away from the catholic church (which had all the saints days and religious holidays that gave people time off work).

well, i don't go to church so it seems fair, but yeah, something that was an element in my education from when i was 5 till 18 did influence my thinking.
since we've moved onto ad hominem attacks, you seem like the rabid anti-religious demagogue that reactionary elements in the church and governments have successfully turned many people who could have been supporters of communism into violent opponents.
what's more, your hatred of all religions doesn't really square with support of communism, which although not called a religion, has many similar elements to religion, with doctrine, opposing factions, and strong beliefs and people picking and choosing the elements the like. if someone called communism a religion would you immediately disavow it?

do you think religion makes the world a better place? because the Bible is one of the most awful weapons ever crafted by humanity.

it’s also a lovely book.

I don’t give a poo poo about Catholics, they suck but have cool outfits and Latin sounds cool, it’s the loving born again mega churches I want burned down and or taxed heavily, and most of the minsters/pastures should be locked up for regularly campaigning for trump and turning their congregations into loving clan rallies.

When I was in college, I would walk to McDonalds a few times a week, right before they close. I'd get some nuggets, and the manager would just empty what was left in the fries area into a paper bag for me for free. My dorm mates loved it.

Just as the worst slave-owners were those who were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the horror of the system being realised by those who suffered from it, and understood by those who contemplated it, so, in the present state of things in England, the people who do most harm are the people who try to do most good; and at last we have had the spectacle of men who have really studied the problem and know the life – educated men who live in the East End – coming forward and imploring the community to restrain its altruistic impulses of charity, benevolence, and the like. They do so on the ground that such charity degrades and demoralises. They are perfectly right. Charity creates a multitude of sins.

Also I wanna say even though this is a derail I'm sure everyone hates, your effortposting and explaining not-completely-garbage religious views has been real interesting to someone who has grown up surrounded by deeply religious people and has literally never met anyone who believes anything even close to that irl.

there’s a whole thread of religious goons that are center to left. there’s some tension there with CSPAM though and a general standoffishness about politics.

edit: hard agree there should be a cspam religious folks thread
