I’m willing to bet a lot of money that if one particular candidate wins the election in November, this data will be used for a whole fucking lot more than “evangelization”.

That's all I can think about.
I wonder if the pride flag houses have targets on them now, or if that comes with the November update
I’ve often thought about making a MAGA flag Map, especially for businesses with them so we know who to boycott.
This app might give off the inverse data, which could be almost as helpful.
I'm pretty sure religious groups think every other group is as focused and dedicated to conversation as they are.
If they were left alone in a room with a child (or anyone really), their immediate action would be to determine how Christian the child is, test and ensure their faith is all consuming, or immediately begin the conversion process if they aren't already their personal brand of Christian.
They assume this is absolutely normal, expected behaviour. so any group that is different from them, must be doing the exact same thing, but with other idealogies.
Like how they hate Islam and Sharia law while endorsing 99% of Sharia law practices under a different name. Or they think every gay person has a gay agenda and needs to make every child gay because religion knows children are the easiest to manipulate.
They are obsessed with someone else being a groomer while being the most organized and dedicated groomers on the planet.
Bruh, the Bible says if you even think a family member is considering any other option than Christianity, it's you're duty to stop them, even if it means killing them.
Blood is thicker than water.
Is a biblical phrase, the full thing is:
The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
It means you're supposed to put any other Christian, and Christianity as a whole, over family.
Up to and including pulling an Abraham and murdering family members for not believing exactly the same shit.
Is a biblical phrase, the full thing is:
The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
That's an urban myth.
I didn't know the origin but wow, that's the complete opposite of how the phrase gets used today
It's not, it's an urban myth
I looked it up after and yeah, not from the Bible. The religious connotation likely came from a sermon from the 1600s that kind of bastardized it

What verse? I've read some wack shit in the Bible, but never that.
Hi, Christian here. No, we are not called upon to kill our family members for not being Christians. Hope this helps.
And if you'd like to dispute by pointing out verses that imply we should be killing people, please save us both some time and check the context of the verse. Some of them are in parables, and others are of the old law back before there was hope for salvation in Christ. If you find any that are neither, I'd be surprised, but please let me know.

That would almost matter ...
If Christians weren't constantly saying they need to pass laws everyone has to follow based on that old shit...
When you pick and choose and say some have to be followed, but the ones you disagree with don't.
It's what's called "hypocrisy" in the modern world.
You can't claim some stuff you're forced to make others follow, and other stuff is outdated and we can't hold it against you
Gotta pick a lane champ
Pick a lane? I think you're assuming others' actions are mine. I don't force others to follow the Bible at all, because that's not the biblical way. It has to be a choice, otherwise God might as well force us all directly.
A very strongly nagged and heavily pressured and influenced choice.
There is no magic carpenter and never was, and there is no magic "salvation" that absolves you from responsibility for your actions. Grow up and become an adult.

This seems like a conspiracy for targeted harassment, with a strong case of doxxing.
With an email account I created 10 minutes ago and no registered church within the app, I've been able to pull the names and addresses of myself, my neighbors, and the names of people whose address I've checked.
This is a privacy nightmare.
Friendly reminder that Christianity is the biggest and most dangerous cult in the world
If this is truly and legitimately where it ends - doorknocking - then its an annoyance and nothing more
But the real issue is that in the US the evangelical Christian scene has a lot of overlap with various racist/homophobic/right-wing/etcetc scenes
You can ignore 'have you heard of our saviour Jesus Christ' visits with a shoulder shrug, but I bet a lot of people have genuine safety concerns about this information being available to this crowd
A public record documenting people's religious views and ethnic background. I can't imagine a single nefarious thing that could be used for.
Wow, this sure is an awesome guide on privacy posted here in the privacy guides community.
THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
I think this particular app name was changed to just "bless". They got reported on another thread.
This is cyber stalking
Seems like a step up from "Covenant Eyes" with weirdo politicians sharing their porn habits with their children.
Wew lad
