What is the Christian Church good for?

[Skipper]

Quite a long first post, so will focus on the thread title - What is the Christian church good for.

I would say most of the things it is good for does not actually require the church, and non-religious organizations performing the same things can do it better and without trying to contaminate people's brains with God. I'm talking about giving food and clothing to the needy, other charity work, acting as a social network, etc.

So, yes, it does some good things, but nothing that only the church can or does do, and the harm it does to people with its brainwashing, especially to the impressionable young, is unconscionable.

I don't doubt that the church does some good. But it dosen't do anything that can't be done by other less corrupting and brainwashing organisations.
