1/ Tulsa, OK mega church Victory Church took $2.1 million in CARES Act funding (despite, of course, not paying taxes themselves.)

In November, they held an indoor concert with more than 15k in attendance, in direct defiance of CDC guidelines to protect the vulnerable.
2/ Now temperatures are below freezing across the state, and guess who is refusing to open their doors to unhoused people freezing to death on the streets?
3/ If evangelicals are wondering why people are turning away from the church, I’d suggest that it has something to do with so many Christians treating Jesus as a tax shelter and not a commandment to love and take care of your neighbor.
There are at least TWENTY churches Wagoner, OK—but not a single one opened their doors to unhoused people this week as temperatures dropped below zero.

So a weed shop stepped up instead. https://twitter.com/KassieMcClung/status/1361471336493817859
