They’re supposed to make a profit for its owners or shareholders. What is a church’s purpose?

It’s evidently not to help the poor or the needy. And please don’t tell me that it’s the lack of resources. We have seen time and again how various churches of different sizes act when it comes to providing any actual help during a time of crisis. The first that comes to mind is Joel Osteen during Hurricane Harvey. But at this point, I’m convinced that’s the rule rather than the exception.

I think her experiment revealed what most of us have known for a while now. The last several presidential election results make it very clear.
