I'm just saying that there's an infinite list of better ways the donations this church collected from it's members could have been used. Hell yes I'm criticizing this because it wasn't done to help the needy as the truely needy people in the world don't have cars in the 1st place. It was obviously just a marketing ploy for the church. As for what I've done to help people today, not much, but at least I haven't tried to run a business by preying on gulible people's spirituality.

Seriously... criticizing a church for giving away free gas? Could it have been handled better? Sure, but why don't you share what you have done today to help others?

this is stupid and wrong. That money could have been used to actually help people in need instead of being used to advertize this church. Americans, who own a vehicle, are probably better off and less needy than 90% of the world's population. I do NOT like the message this church sends.

Using this good deed to promote a fake god by the name of Jesus is a great sin.
