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.

    For our sins. God gave us free will, but made us perfect.

    If the sin he created us to commit is perfect, why does he punish us for it? You are ignoring the blatant contradictions. Cancer is perfect? He made that, too, right?

    Please stop serving a literal death cult. Please stop defending rapists and pedophiles. Please stop glorifying violence.

        …all of which god created, knowing this would happen.

        You need look no further than the bible to confirm that all of christianity is a death cult, yahweh is a death god. Do you drink your savior’s blood and eat his flesh? Do you know how fucked-up that is?

        Rapists and pedophiles: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6676731/

        Murderers and genociders: https://www.worldhistory.org/Crusades/

        All in the name of your god. Can you prove they are wrong and you are right? Everyone reasonable is still waiting for any proof of god’s existence before claiming they believe in it.

          When cases of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church became known, the German Bishops’ Conference (Deutsche Bischofskonferenz, DBK) commissioned a study by an interdisciplinary consortium to determine the frequency of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy in Germany (the MHG study).

          1670 persons belonging to the Catholic clergy who were accused of sexual abuse of minors were identified from their personnel files, corresponding to 4.4% of the clergy overall.

          The DBK requested this study in the first place, and 4.4% of all clergy since the 1910s in Germany

          Also, there have been many scientifically proven miracles.

            They protect pedophiles until they cannot, if the evidence is overwhelming. How many are they still protecting today? How many were simply sent to other churches to harm more victims?

            Still happening this year, actively covering up abuse: https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2026/01/27/catholic-abuse-powerful-utah/

            Also, there have been many scientifically proven miracles.

            Define “miracle”. Name one that has been scientifically proven.

                But you never proved or defined “god”.

                Anyway, even catholic scientists admit your example is not a miracle: https://drjulesgomes.substack.com/p/catholic-scientists-debunk-assertions

                Catholic scientists are now urging the faithful to be cautious about claims that eucharistic miracles have been scientifically proven, as unconsecrated hosts tested under similar conditions have also shown similar “bleeding” appearances.

                Peer-reviewed studies published by Catholic scientists who believe in Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist have also dismissed assertions that the miracles were validated by research carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN).

                Would you like to try another? Spoiler: they’re all bullshit, magic isn’t real. Please use your brain.
