I know Lemmy isn’t fond of religion, but I have a story.

Years ago, when I lived in the Northwoods, I’d go to this little Lutheran church every so often; mostly for a free lunch because I needed one. They were the rainbow flag kind of Lutheran, not the bigoted kind. Mostly old ladies. I was always the youngest person there by a few decades, and I was in my 20’s.

Anyway, whenever the basket would come around the pastor made it clear that the church didn’t need money. The building and people who worked there were all paid for by the denomination. What was given in the offering would go to neighbors in need.

Shit, that town had a lot of need, and way too many people too proud to ask for help.

That offering basket paid my bills a few times.
