Hopefully the church you go to is online and you can send me a link so I can see a sermon where there is no asking the most generous people for money in each sermon.
@Darmark7,
I know this an LGBTQ Current Events thread but I felt prompted by God in my spirit to jump in here.
I can relate to your opinions that you have expressed about money and organized religion and the institutional church.
I have been released from these opinions and the negative impact they have had on me in the past.
I do believe much can be done to improve the spiritual handling of money in churches and other communities and institutions of these types.
I don’t recollect your specific beliefs regarding God or a Higher Power if any kind but I thought to share the following link.
It is a link to a Catholic Daily TV Mass out of Canada. I been watching this almost Daily since 2019, I very rarely miss. In this time I have not heard about money or giving 1 time in the services. They obviously take donations but I have never heard it brought up during the service.
Maybe you can give this a try.
Home - Daily TV Mass
Just my thoughts.
Peace
