Remember though, Christianity is "pro-life" ... ya.
This is the bullshit I'm talking about. It's all pro-life and pro-children when it comes to opposing abortion and gay adoption rights. Then we have a single mother, perhaps already struggling to put food on the table, being robbed dry by the same religion.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Minimum youth payment?!? Someone okayed that in writing?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

If you can't afford $50 a month then you don't deserve God. It's as simple as that. The nerve of some poor people.

Food or everlasting life? Sounds like an easy choice to me.

Mount Moriah Mammon . . . .
There, fixed it.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It's shameful a church would do this and it's not a Biblical requirement nor is it a prescribed doctrine for 99% of churches. This is one of the churches that give Christianity a bad name.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

They must not be worried about church attendance if they're charging adults $50 a month, and kick you out if you don't pay up. I've seen offering plates, but they didn't demand money. In my old church, you could drop a dollar and they'd be happy.
