OK, does this title end abruptly or am I just really high?

Welp, time to create the reverse app and tag houses that are religious.
Do what you want with that information.
Nah, just wait for the inevitable data dump because they won't pay for competent security, and invert the data. No need to get the data yourself when they're pretty much doing it for you!

I feel like I need the hero protecting the little person meme. The arrows are roving bands of proselytizers, and the hero is my little "no soliciting" sign

As a Christian: this is absolutely despicable. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors, and a huge part of loving someone is to respect their boundaries.
So screw this app and the people that built it. If you want to invite your neighbors to learn about Jesus:
- Set a good example
- Get to know them
- Invite only when it's relevant (i.e. to a kid's baptism or whatever)
If they want to learn about Jesus, they'll ask.
As an atheist, I wish there were more Christians like you.
If I were the devil and this world was mine to see Well, I'd witness all the atrocities and it'd probably frighten me So I'd run back home with a story to tell I'd tell all my demon friends that I always preferred Hell — Colby Acuff
One of the existential terrors of deconstruction is realizing the human species is plenty capable of evil and atrocity, that no demons are needed
Then when we've seen the absolute worst humans could imagine, Sir David Attenborough comes along holding Nature's beer.

As an atheist, I wish there were less Christians and more demons
As a metalhead, same.
There are millions of them. You wouldn't know it though, because they don't announce themselves.
Yeah. I'm not religious but I've worked with church groups and actually every one I can think of immediately, was out for good and doing Christ things. I think the more prejudicial ones just are more vocal about what they're doing.

JFC, I installed the app and added "my address" and immediately was given a list of names and addresses to "pray for".
How am I supposed to pray for so many people!? What am I, an ATM?! Gelatians 4:20:69 had nothing to do with Gelato!1! This is getting 1 star and reported on the app store.
What the FUCK
For some reason it didn't sink in to me from reading the article how weird and sinister this is
Literal names and addresses. Unbelievable.
Can you filter it to only immigrants? How flexible is the display of people's names and addresses, family vs no kids, young or old, things like that?
Uninstalled already. It was pushy about asking for my church address so they could contact them to promote the app.
Got it. I'm just gonna go back to assuming the worst.

It doesn't seem to be available on android
It would be a real shame if people started leaving reviews on the play store with their concerns. Real shame i tell you, its sitting at a 4.7 rating with all but 1 five star, and they gave it a four star.
Anyways for any god loving Christian who just wants to download their app to pray for their neighbors, ive taken the ten seconds needed to visit their site and grabbed their app links.
Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blesseveryhome.bealight
Apple https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bless-every-home/id1541313484
Downloaded, used an empty home for the address, selected The Satanic Temple as my church, deleted the app, and gave it one star. Took 5 minutes.
I'm doing my part!
While I'd love to add my opinion to the Play Store reviews, there's no way in Hell I'm installing some kind of Christofascist malware on any device that I control.
Virtual machine and a burner gmail account lol

This definitely shouldn't be the top comment. Don't cross-post it to other communities who prefer that christofascists don't harass and dox immigrants and any non-christians they hate (see: most genders).
Noooooo sir.
And definitely don't report it as "Hateful or abusive" content or anything, it's not like Google or Apple is using automated algorithms to auto disable apps for a period of time after certain thresholds of reports are hit or anything like that

This is basically the same as the voting rolls that democrats and republicans use for canvassing. The amount of information they have and have had for years predating the internet, is immense.
