I thought about saying “you know it’s a grift when they collect personal information and leak it.” According to their Bible, you don’t need an app to pray. They say church (or a covenant, I forget, it’s been 30+ years since I read the KJV) is when any two people come together to talk about Jesus (sorry!). So, where does an app fit in? And why does that app need your personally identifiable information (referred to as PII in industry). Wouldn’t an all-knowing God already have it?

But you don’t have to know it’s a grift… I feel like this is proof the Vatican (or whoever made this app on their behalf, and thus speak on their behalf… and the Pope allegedly speaks on God’s behalf) themselves know it’s a grift. Because why would they need your PII?

I know, fools and their money are soon parted… just saw this on /all and figured the Fediverse’s top Atheism comm should have it.

    and you yourself decide what is true. Thus, you believe what you want to believe

      Dead wrong.

      Again. And really think about it this time:

      HONEST PEOPLE DO NOT CHOOSE THEIR BELIEFS.

      We believe what is most likely true whether it is what we want or not. We do not decide truth. We attempt to describe it as accurately as possible.

        you willingly ignore all of the evidence being provided to you

          We went over it. I was as receptive as my brain allows. You did not provide anything remotely convincing, you have fallacies and baseless claims. That is not evidence.
