Christianity for social and monetary gain | Forum

We can see a lot of churches in Vatican that are constantly asking for donations and donations for supposed helping of the poor, but... in the end reality shows the contrary as they are just getting our money for personal gain.
How can a fictious entity known as the Christian God call him and made him to be a PM :))
As for his opposing of the separation of church and state, it is very obvious since they have a lot of political influences and they want full control over the politics with the help of religion.
It happens here in Australia too, but not to that extent. We just get Christian politicians like Scott Morrison (he's a Pentecostal nutter who believes God called him to be PM) and the Australian Christian Lobby, who want to make this country a theocracy and are against the separation of church and state.
The Australian Christian Lobby are still at it, though.
It is another to be an actual Christian.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Yet it is not limited to work itself.
Virtue signalling is done by many folks in different streaks of life. In my many years around I have seen, and still see, people doing that same within different practices.
Satanic dick-measuring is the same thing, you only don´t get paid for it in cash but with (hopefully) credibility of who you perceive as peers.
Truth be told, there´s a willingness to sell ones soul to gain credit in one form or another. Modern day terms it is called "networking".
When it comes to the ordinary citizens, religious affiliation doesn't matter. The employers don't give a shit. Catholics aren't so close and helpful to each other like Jehovah witnesses, for example.

In Poland the Church has quite a powerful position so the politicians often try to appease it to gain favors. Although the party that rules now has remained in power more due to handouts to various social groups than to religious beliefs.

We have The Family. And that's not a conspiracy. Them and The Christian Coalition keep 'merica full of all faith prayer breakfasts and a certain game politicians have to play/pray. Only your CIA directors can get away with taking oaths on The Constitution. Politicians use family bibles and such.
In fact, in the entirety of American History only one president has acknowledged Non-believers specifically in a speech, Obama. Most have speech writers reminding them that a large percentage of the country wants to hear "God Bless America". Obama also did that. In fact, the only President who's religiousity I never believed was even slightly existent is Donald Trump. Dude is a fucking cutthroat 80's Machiavellian Prince until the end. Crazy person or leader?
Number of religious is shrinking relatively quickly. USA is about a generation behind Scandanavia and Northern Europe (sans Poland) with irreligiousity.
And I agree with Baphomets, OP. Get the fuck out of Utah. Get an account with a food delivery app. And you can work anywhere in the country. Once you sign up on something like Door Dash, you can work anywhere they are in the continental US. No looking for a job. Just turning on an app. I suggest Las Vegas or Tucson. The Almost West Coast vibe. Well, Legal weed anyway. California's burnt and expensive unless you want to live in Bakersfield or Fresno.
