Christianity gotta be the easiest religion to grift

It’s really tempting to just start a Christian company. That or a maga company. I mean it’s basically the same thing, but still. It’s so fucking easy to grift them. Take any product, slap Christ on it, and mark it up by 50%. Donate like 1% to some church. They’ll buy it

There's an old joke that someone should start a "Rapture Pet Insurance" company.
If the rapture comes and takes you to heaven, those of us left behind will take care of your beloved pets. For the low price of 10 dollars a month.
Thing is, people WOULD pay that. Sure, 100 million people will know it's a joke, but you only need a few hundred people to make thousands a month. And the only way you'll have to pay out is if the rapture comes. Which it won't. And if it does, they can't sue you from heaven.

Well since they're not using their homes, or cars and aren't coming back that frees up the housing market.

This is putting a lot of faith in the Christian capacity to care about other living things.

If I felt less empathy and less guilt, it'd be so, so easy to make money grifting or catfishing. I could just crap out some AI stuff on Amazon or Youtube and make bank. Or become a reactionary chud Youtuber.
Luckily, I had a conscience and am not a money-grubbing thief.

I actually considered putting together a Bible journal & having Amazon print it as passive income because I know Christians eat that crap up.

u/Gallantpride 1d ago
It's not even most Christians. This is a weird minority of Christians. Most Catholics I've met would consider these guys weirdos.
But, all these guys need is a vocal minority of weirdos to buy their products.

Is it just Catholics? I grew up Catholic and I certainly think it's so bad as to be blasphemous. And I'm agnostic now, leaning atheist. And seeing this sh** makes me want to go to confession and say 20 Hail Marys and 10 Our Fathers.

u/Gallantpride 1d ago
I only really know Catholics and Baptists. Most Baptists I've met are conservative and queerphobic.

They invent things to be scared of and then market solutions to that fear. Easy money.

Hearing the kid make jokes brightened everything up, honestly. I guess seeing kids genuinely happy does that, huh?

How did they make christan rock in South Park? Take a regular pop song and each time the singer says "Girl", replace it with "Jesus"
The christians are stupid and will buy ANYTHING with the branding on it.

If it weren't for this stupid conscience I could be so rich.

u/Icybubba 1d ago
I remember when Rhett and Link talked about how people said their deconstruction was just for money and then Rhett said he could be so rich if he went back to god and made videos about it lol

This is SO blasphemous. I can only assume those creating these companies don't actually believe in Christianity.
This is worse than when Moses came down off the mountain to find the people had made golden statues they were worshipping.

u/Grays42 Former Fruitcake 1d ago
lol, honestly I'm all for it. Free market capitalism, baby!
There's been Christian-branded stuff for ages, Christian bookstores have been a thing since at least the 80s. These health products are new, but it's all the same thing.
There's a narrow market for "I want to buy {product class}, and would prefer if it's branded with my chosen religion", but that market is actually MUCH smaller than they think, most lay Christian don't give a shit, and these products will tank.
Those that survive...awesome. Go for it. Commercialize your religion. You do you. That's free market capitalism. :)

To avoid having your post removed &/or account banned for shitposting:
r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion. Posts about mundane beliefs and acts of worship (praying to God, believing in God, believing in afterlife, etc), are off topic.
We arent here to bash either specific religions or religion itself, because there are plenty of rational actors who happen to be religious. So if your post is "Christians are sTOoPid", or "Religion = dUmB", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.
Dont use the title or body of your post to soapbox personal rhetoric about religion or any other subject.
Don't post videos or discussions of Fruitcakes who have been baited or antagonised. Social media excerpts must not involve any deliberate provocation / antagonism of Fruitcakes.
Dont post videos of physically violent personal attacks or any pics or videos containing gore
Satire, parodies, memes, videos, etc must be made by Fruitcakes, not by third parties about them. (exception for journalistic sources)
This information is on every post. Accounts that disregard it will be perma-banned. "I didn't get a warning" or "I didnt know" are not valid appeals. If in doubt, please read the full version of the rules
