In my head I heard, "North Carolina church cons thousands of dollars out of unwitting followers to give to schools in the hopes people forget about the millions they save being tax exempt."

Free lunches should be available to all school kids who need or want them, regardless of income level. It's the least we could do. And all that conservative bullshit about how "there is no free lunch" and that free lunches would harm the character development of kids, etc., is just that, bullshit and propaganda, since they also believe that tax cuts for the rich and corporate welfare are both good for the character of the rich and corporations, when we all know that they aren't....

I also wish that churches and religious orgs. would quit making hungry people listen to preaching before they could get free meals, but as long as it happens in their house, they will get to keep making their rules about it.

Good story! Thanks for posting.

You know, sometimes churches actually do good.

It's not as often as churches actively doing bad - covering up sexual predation on children, screwing money out of the poor, heaping bigotry on 'sinful' sub-groups and so on - but hey, there is good in religion.

There's just no 'cause and effect' link between religious belief and decency.

They should have just prayed that debt away, hellooooooo……‍

Too bad they can't just help people because its simply the right thing to do.
They've always got to drag their invisible friend into it.
