    So you’re telling me that religion is good and doesn’t do bad things?

    Are you telling me that Christianity isn’t pushing homophobic and anti trans hate rhetoric?

    Are you next going to tell me that Christianity hasn’t been the harbinger of some of the worst atrocities ever committed?

    Let’s look at what the world’s largest organised religion was doing during the second world war, and every decade since.

    I agree that ideology is a better term, but given that ideology is a superset of religion, my point still stands, but is expanded. As for donating. Perhaps we shouldn’t fucking need to donate to charities. Also, want to talk about specifics? Salvation fucking army? I’m not going to start searching for counterpoints to your specific cherry picked statements as I’m tired and don’t care enough to argue with strangers.

    You could ask your CEO for more info, I think he goes by Pope something or other. I don’t care.

    One thing that really annoys me is when somebody says “God told me to tell you …”

    If you have a belief in a higher power, then good for you. Follow your own belief though, not what somebody tells you is the way.

    Also, don’t tell me that it makes you better than me because you donate to charity. Go look at where most charity finding gets spent.

    Consider me schooled.

    Yours is the straw man. I said religion, you talk about an individual church. Different things.

    The only headlines for religion are the bad news ones. Rarely hear about religions actually giving their money away. Individual churches might, but the religion as a whole - nah.

    Throughout history religion has just been a way to consolidate power and dominate populations. They have been responsible for some of the worst atrocities ever committed, and generally take from those who have the least whilst promising a glorious afterlife if they can suffer in this life.

    Even now the largest religion in the world still hoards their wealth like a venerable dragon sitting on their piles of gold, deep in their mountain lair.

    Even now the largest religion in the world continues to hide and protect paedophiles within their ranks.

    As for racism. I don’t care for it. I don’t like scammers, fascists, or liars though.

    As to historical buildings. You did know that the largest religion in the world is one of the wealthiest entities, mainly due to convincing lots of the poorest people in society to donate what they can’t afford so that the church doesn’t have to spend.

    Might be better standing a k8s setup and then offering to host and route the small businesses.

    Have a bunch of standard services and spin them up as required for the company: db, object storage, web server, standard CMS with free templates, cache and mq.

    Needs Drupal plus postgres? Two containers. They want WordPress? Add that.

    Needs cache? Add them to your redis instance and charge.

    Message bus? Rabbitmq

    Object storage? Minio in front of everything so that you can plug it into the cheapest S3 buckets.

    Main work is ingress and routing via nginx containers, but it will be cheap enough for you to host and scale as requirements change.

    You build a couple of connectors for Auth and payment processing and you can charge a bit extra for that integration.

    Most of that can sit in a small k8s 3 node cluster and could probably host a lot of sites with autoscaling.
