Right, that's why they have massive churches adorned with gold and intricate sculptures. Just because it technically isn't required to pay does not mean that years of brainwashing won't condition you to give your money away. I've only been a few times, but seeing old people queue up to give a sizable part of their pension to the church just made me sad.

And your world view is very jaded and myopic if that is all you see. There are plenty (majority) where your anecdote is not true.

  • A majority of the bible is not true.

    • Evidence for that statement? Can you give some examples?

      Mostly when people say "the Bible is not true" its usually a result of misunderstanding it (e.g. adopting Biblical literalism, not understanding the culture and context, not understanding nuance).
