This week’s lessons: Amos 5:4-15, Mark 10:17-27
Hi all!
Religion and religiosity might actually have a number of negative effects.
Religion might lead to a larger gender pay gap. The Hidden Cost of Prayer: Religiosity and the Gender Wage Gap | Academy of Management Journal (aom.org)
Religion might lead to fanaticism.
Religion might lead to violence.
I’m not coming up on this on my own. Amos pointed it all out 2,500 years ago.
Let’s get into it Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30 am.
Sincerely
Pastor T
