Do you have a higher opinion of Amazon or the Catholic Church?

[TheReckoning]

Obviously talking about the company Amazon, not the river or rainforest for those who want to be smart.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

As a fellow People of the Book, I cast my vote in this poll for the Catholic Church.

[vitoNova]

Easy choice for Amazon.

They actually provide things of value.

[dead0man]

Amazon, not remotely close

[Independents for Nihilism]

It took three days for Jesus to ascend to heaven, Amazon has them beat in shipping times.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Catholic Church, no contest. If it were the rainforest that might be a difficult choice.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

I have a very low opinion of the Catholic Church.

But Catholic Church.

[lfromnj]

You all know.

[President Johnson]

Well, that's an .... interesting comparison.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

You all know.

I will work harder. Comrade Jeff is always right.

[Vice President Christian Man]

Catholic Church

[Progressive Pessimist]

Oof!

I guess on the surface Amazon does at least contribute to the economy in some ways. The Church just takes money.

[wnwnwn]

Pretty sure Francis is a better personas than Bezos.

[Ferguson97]

Both organizations provide lots of negatives, but at least Amazon brings some positives.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Amazon is more convenient to me personally but Pope Francis is better than Jeff Bezos.

The Catholic Church gets a bad rap for good reason but it's done a lot of great things over the centuries too.

[Damocles]

They pay my bills, so my hand is kinda forced here.

maybe, but routinely murdering non-Catholics for the primary sin of being non-Catholic and whiney about it for most/much of the last 1800 years is a lot to overcome (not to mention the anti-Semitism and pedophilia)

This is basically blood libel. “The Catholic Church” never really murdered anyone at all, given how death penalties (which is I think what you’re talking about) where done by civil authorities, not the church. Some of the most Catholic parts of Europe (Poland, Hungary) had large Jewish populations, while Protestant countries had far less. And I doubt they’re any more pedophiles in the Catholic Church than Amazon.

Please stop misusing the term blood libel. Thanks.

"Basically" is doing so much thankless work in this sentence that Jeff Bezos ought to give it a five-minute unpaid lunch break.

Nonsense, thats wasting time. A brand new piss bottle is far better.

Central Europe didn't have expulsions of Jews during late medieval times as much as Western Europe did, so that difference predates the Reformation. It is the case that the Catholic Church as an institution was very often less hostile to Jews, and certainly less violent, than Catholic secular leaders were.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

I like organizations that don't make workers piss in bottles.
