How do I make money with Christianity? I don't believe in Jesus at all, I think he was an idiot, but his followers have been making loads of cash off this sucker's death for thousands of years and I want in.

Christianity = following Christ's steps

Is that simple. Nothing else.

You could try to revive indulgences.

Become a preacher, lots of preachers don't don't believe in god and are in it only for the money

>>17823918 (OP)
Emulate feel-good prosperity preachers like Joel Osteen, Steven Furtick and Benny Hinn. Everything they do is very formulaic, and people simply want a way to feel good. Also with the internet nowadays you can get a congregation going a lot quicker than in the past, aside from the fact that fewer people go to church than people in the past did. Pentecostalism and the charismatic movement are on the rise, you definitely want to ride that bandwagon. Also supporting Israel is a good way to ingratiate yourself with the rich and powerful.

The churches are where the money goes really.
Sure, there are Christian based companies. But, those companies are affiliated with churches.
Really. You have to be in it if you want to game it.
Nasty business that.
If it were up to me churches would lose their tax exempt status.
Thats also another trick to their success, not having to pay taxes.

Because of the Seperation of Church and State, Churches don't have to pay taxes in the United States, which means they mostly have little to no operating costs, at that point all you have to do is constantly beg for donations and keep whatever is left for yourself. Christianity is a massive grift.

bro your mass spamming the site telling anons they will end up in hell if they don't follow your dogmatic doctrine. Your impressively unhinged.

>>17824360
Your baptist huh??? I knew it

Tell people they are going to get everything they want and all their problems will be solved, and if they haven't gotten everything they want and all their problems haven't been solved, its because they aren't believing enough and the best way to demonstrate that belief is with a financial contribution.
Honestly thats the easy part, the real trick is getting people to give absolutely everything they have to you, not only their money and their wives and daughters but their entire life itself.

Lots of pastors lose or redefine their faith in seminary once they really dive into Biblical scholarship, but, at that point, they’re in too deep to back. That’s one of the many reasons why pastors typically never dive into actually big topics with their congregation and focus on feel good self-help shit. Also, sermons discussing the ambiguity of who actually authored what and when doesn’t really make for a great Sunday service anyways. Save that for Bible study with the elders (maybe).

Real way to go is to get hired on at a local megachurch in an relatively affluent area. Even better if you can be the vice head pastor (aka don’t actually do shit). My parents went to a non-denominational megachurch, and our vice pastor (who never promoted to head pastor) came out openly as an atheist after he finally retired. It was a pretty big scandal. He never did much anyways. Dude would give a sermon on Sunday maybe once every 2 months, and it was generic garbage self-help bullshit that the WASP soccer moms ate up.

did you know that many pastors pay for a sermon writing subscription that gives them a new sermon every week? So they don’t even have to write shit. And thanks to AI, a lot of those sermon writers are AI generating the sermons too. There are thousands of pastors across the US giving the same generic sermons as each other, but you never realize because you can only attend one church any given sunday.

back to my church’s atheist pastor. Nigga served for like 20 years, had a hot wife, and raised three daughters and one son. He was getting paid north of $100k and lived in a fucking parsonage. Imagine pulling six figs with no living expenses. Basically six figs in fun money. Dude was pulling the (legal) scam of the century. Drove a nice ass car too.

This is a megachurch’s “parsonage.” Head pastor gets to live in that house, for free, on the church’s dime, and basically everything is tax free.

No, that is an incredibly retarded definition since christianity = believing in the divinity of christ.
No serious christian thinks they can follow christ's steps on water or his decent to hell or coming back and floating to space or most of his other actions since they believe he is a miraculously magical godman capable of doing the impossible.
