Would you take it?


Money is after tax but if you take it then tonight when you least expect it every single church, synagogue, temple, mosque and building of worship on the planet just crumples overnight. Causing untold devastation, destroying ancient irreplacable marvels and trillions in damages.

From Peru to Ohio to Toyko to Leeds to Moscow, no where is spared. The buildings just collaspe into rubble. Even the churches inside hospitals just fall apart as if they had been untouched for 10,000 years.

No one is hurt by this, phsyically hurt at least, by some miracle they all happened to be empty at the time due to a series of bizzare unrelated coincidences worldwide.

Emotionally and spiritually though? Who is to say how hurt the billions of relgious people are.

Would you take it?
Could you live with yourself and the consequences?

I'd do it for free. The only downside is some places of worship have gorgeous architecture, like all of Mecca and the Hagia Sophia. Actually, no, I can't do it. I take it back.

No.

The shitstorm that would occur when a bunch of religious people encounter an actual act of god wouldn't be worth it.

Yes.
They're just buildings and nobody got hurt.

You don't NEED a building to believe in what you believe in.

Wait, there's lots of religions, maybe one does worship buildings... Ah well they can always rebuild.

The damages would cost billions.

People need to realize that love it or hate it, religious organizations contribute shelter, food, and clothing to the needy. Destroying the foundations for these organizations only deprives already struggling people of these resources.

The other issue is churches that host food drives and stuff like that. I doubt a small town church has the funds to simply rebuild.

Both true.
But again. Do they really NEED a church for a food drive (and stuff like that) and do they really NEED a church in a small town?

Hard pass based on just the loss of architecture. All those beautiful old cathedrals, mosques, temples gone overnight. It would be a devastating historical loss.

Yeah this would be a major blow to some cool buildings and history. I'm not religious and 213 million USD does sound nice, but if this event happened it would be nuts.

Does that outweigh the millions of dollars churches extract in tithing, being tax exempt, selling bullshit products at marked up prices. Or the human cost of the many atrocities committed in the name of religion.

But your post is about the dumbass assumption I would expect from someone that uses a term like "cringepost".

No

The result is a bunch of buildings disappear, and it would put billions of people into a difficult position, and it isnt like religion is simply disappearing without consequence. These people would rebuild and hold their worship elsewhere in the meantime.

And if you think this is gonna kill the mega churches that prey on the gullibility of people, this gives them a whole new angle to spin. The devil has taken our place of worship and is trying to silence god himself but he will fail! With your help, he will fail!, leading to mass donations.

It would also create millions of jobs with people building/rebuilding or doing something else with those spaces.

yeah, primarily the corrupt churches would be the ones that would bounce back the quickest, the ones actually doing worthwhile things would generally be the ones hurt the most and have the hardest time coming back (if they even could).
