I hope they come to my door. I'll tell them all the stuff that is taught in Seminary that they don't teach the parishioners.
That being said, this is totally fucked up. Hopefully someone that is affected can sue them into oblivion.

Can we appreciate how incredibility messed up it is to have Christians trying to tell other religions are not valid? It is terribly messed up to try to convert Muslims to Christianity.
With that being said it is important to note that this is a small group of people in Christianity. They are ruining the reputation for all denominations and creating Christian hate which will hurt Christians everywhere in the long run. I wonder how they would react if there was Jewish protest in front of there Church
I think the "try to convert" part makes no sense. Conversion is a very personal thing, and you can't force someone to do it. You can invite, but that's about it.
Anything more violates common decency.
I don't think the app is designed to try to convert people. Filtering by immigration status is the giveaway.
Oftentimes, American-style authoritarian organized religion equips you with a very particular type of doublethink which makes it possible to promote an app like this and wholeheartedly believe that it will be used for good things because you and all the people around you are the best type of people that exist, while being aware and planning for it to maybe be used (and making sure it's useful) for something totally different.

When one group of Torah fan ficti9n lovers hates the other groups fan ficti9n its a big deal.
That's not really the case outside of a minority
Religion is incredibly messed up FIFY
The church is an organization that preys on people using their fear of death.

Why did you decide to change the title and then stop halfway through?
mbin has a different title length limit than Lemmy, which I didn't know.
Just edited it just for you, you should see it fixed whenever it federates.
This is real bad. I'm a christian (albeit a very unorthodox one), and this goes against everything Christians are supposed to follow according to the bible. This can only be construed as church authoritarianism. Maybe this is why I'm looked down upon by most "Christians" out there, but I could not care less. If a christian says or does anything that does not align with LOVE EVERYONE,that's not a christian, but a "faith merchant". Their "privacy policy" is tailored to make it seem like they are doing God's work, when reading it with the intent to understand clearly displays the intention to gather data on you and everyone around you. And I'm sorry, but anyone that does this is guilty of wanting data to sell until proven otherwise, no exceptions.
- Who Has Access to Your Data
"Your password is not accessible by or shared with anybody. Not even we can access it. It is stored in an inaccessible encrypted format."
So, ONLY the password is encrypted, everything else is stored as clearly as a traffic sign. Noted.
"None of the information entered by you is shared with anybody unless you specifically give us permission to do so by opting in to affiliate your Light role with one or more of our partner organizations; by opting in to have your contact information available to other Light roles in your neighborhood; or by creating an administrator role in a partner organization."
Where have we seen this before? Ah, right, in EVERY parivacy policy on every single company known to sell our data for profit without caring about anyone or anything except getting more money.
Funny thing is, there's no mention anywhere on how they are getting the data on what they call the "blessees". Care to take a wild guess on how that's done?
I am genuinely sorry that this is happening, and blown away by how disgusting this is. No wonder most people don't want anything to do with us, Christianity has become everything Jesus spoke against.
You and people who hold beliefs like yours should just pick a new name for yourselves, I've tried to convince family members of this for years. Let the jerks have the name they tainted, pick a better name for your beliefs, and get out of the way for people to condemn the institution of Christianity for it's actions.
You shouldn't feel responsible for them. You should just let them suffer the consequences of their actions and get outta the way.
Most of us would, for sure, if it wasn't for the fact that we're called Christians because we follow Christ. However, from my very personal perspective, the name is irrelevant. So much so that our own bible does not mention "christians" anywhere. Having said that, I am a die hard follower of Jesus, people can call me Jesuit, Jesus freak (yes, been called that plenty of times, I find it funny), or whatever. But first and foremost, I'm a human, full of flaws, an expert at finding out what doesn't work (I guess Normie's call those "making mistakes" 🤣🤣), with lost of situations in my life, and a firm believer that, should everyone decide to respect others, love them with their flaws, and be willing to help EVERYONE else as long as it's not detrimental to themselves, their environment or others (in thayvsame order), we would have so much peace in this world that it'll probably get boring haha. Anyway, switching gears real quick: Does anyone here have experience with Arch based Linux distros? Preferably EndeavourOS? I live what I'm seeing, but I can't find a reason why none of my flatpak installations are showing in my apps. I really want to try Arch to find out why die hard Arch users are so proud of that, but so far it seems like a distros made exclusively for people that like to be in pain. What gives? If you can pint me in the right direction to a community where I can vent and maybe find solutions, I would really appreciate it. Oh, and God forgive me, but FUCK MICROSOFT!

I am genuinely sorry that this is happening
Appreciate the sentiment, but it's not anyone's task to apologize for someone else's shitty behavior.
What you (and other Christians who are bothered by this approach) can do is to talk to your fellow believers about it and express your concerns.
We all know they're not going to listen to us heathen unbelievers...
Thanks for the comment man. I apologized because it bothers me to no end, and for vetter or for worse, calling mysrlf a christian puts me in the crosshairs of people that are understandibly upset at that behavior, and I'm not narcissistic enough to just pass by and not try to make it a bit better if possible. Unfortunately, because of their radical religious way of thinking and blatant inability to exercise critical thinking, they won't listen to anyone but their "church leaders", whom, for the most part, only have their own interests at heart.
