So, in theory, The Satanic Temple could make an app to mark all the Christian households then. I wonder if they’d be interested in that.

What do you mean? That app is already made, it’s the one mentioned in this post.
Jubei_K_08@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I suppose that app of theirs would work both ways 😂 But the temple app could open with a splash page of the Baphomet statue with the children.

I bet they have enough members in the field to have it built for free. Hell, if I was an app dev I would chip in on the project.
Fapper_McFapper@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Fucking Christians, they just can’t believe in their fairy tale daddy in the sky and leave the rest of us alone, they have to smear their god like shit everywhere. Religion is a mental illness, it’s long overdue we start treating it that way.
nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
This feels more like a ‘convert’ who do we kill when they tell us app to me.
Fapper_McFapper@lemmy.world 8 months ago
lol, it’s going to turn into a hunting app with best times to hunt, type of heathen, etc. it would be funny if it weren’t so scary.
_dev_null@lemmy.zxcvn.xyz 8 months ago
Interesting.
If they’ve built an app that can target non-christian demographics, then they’ve also built an app to target christians.
I wonder if they’ve made that realization yet.
Zink@programming.dev 8 months ago
Wow, the Christian app that lets you sort people by religion ALSO lets you sort them by race and ethnicity?
I am shocked. SHOCKED!
Well, not that shocked.

Very much creepy and very much on brand with evangelical Achilles who prey on the less fortunate.
Still, I suppose it will give me more of an opportunity to tell them to kindly fuck the hell off my property when they ask for the ‘nice Asian family that lives here’ when my very Italian wife answers the door as they stand there looking very confused.
Cryophilia@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That may work at first but if the religio-fascists take over the government, they won’t be asking anymore.
Cuttlefish1111@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The fact white supremacists hijacked the Christian religion and is using it to effectively push their ideology is telling. I remember when they tried to take over punk music and were quickly told “ Nazi Punks Fuck Off”. Turns out punks have better morals than Christians. Hilarious.
vala@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Turns out punks have better morals than Christians.
I don’t think that any reasoning person thought otherwise.
nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Were you around for the satanic panic bullshit in the 70s or 80s? They painted punks (which were lumped in with metalheads and anyone who didn’t dress like yuppies) as dangerous degenerates back then.
Worked as a nice filter to gain more independent thinkers into those genres though I guess, so it worked out in the end.
grue@lemmy.world 8 months ago
“Hijacked” implies they weren’t a welcomed part of it from the beginning.
Cuttlefish1111@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes they’ve always been racist, But this time it’s much different. Nazis and white Supremacists have blended in with them. I believe this a very important nuanced distinction.
Cuttlefish1111@lemmy.world 8 months ago
No doubt, yet I feel the movement (to expand) has been organized and pushed by white supremacists and not Christians.

Never seems like a good thing when a religious group starts counting
ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Funny you should mention that.
In the mythology of the bible, 2 Samuel 24 talks about how King David took a census of Israel, and it pissed god off so much that he killed 70,000 completely uninvolved Israelis over it, and would have killed more but he stopped when he got to Jerusalem.
And these modern day chuckleheads are doing it on purpose, lol. If only they believed a fraction of their own holy book, I would have the best time gladly explaining to them via scholarly biblical exegesis how and why they’re gonna DIE a nasty death if they do this.
If only. -sigh-
dynamojoe@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That’s such a weird passage. I can’t be understanding this correctly. God tells David to count the people. David sends his generals to count the people. They report the count back to David, who apologizes and says he sinned for doing what God told him to do? IDGI

prayerwalking calls on believers to wage “violent prayer” (persistently and aggressively channeling emotions of hatred and anger against Satan)
In other words first they will use words then move on to more “persuasive” methods when that doesn’t work.
Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Okay, so this app is super messed up, but this take on prayerwalking is the equivalent to satanic panic for D&D.
Prayerwalking is just what the portmanteau describes. Sometimes it contains an evangelistic bent of looking for specific people to pray with or whatever, but mostly it’s just people out praying for people and places.
MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 8 months ago
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. … But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:5-6

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I sincerely hope that when they come to my door again, I am in the middle of carving up a side of beef, again. Last time some Mormons knocked on my door, I opened the door, and what they saw was a 6’3" blonde Viking with a bloody carving knife, and wiping blood off my hands. When I saw who it was I yelled over my shoulder, (to an almost empty apartment,) “Hey guys, you can let the goat go! I just found us a couple of virgins!”
They retreated rather quickly.

So is it removed from the appatore yet? Or does it need some motivation?
Can it be flagged or something? That could get it removed.

i reported it as doxing, looks like they’re recording names and addresses. maybe this in the EU can raise gdpr concerns?
Bezier@suppo.fi 8 months ago
I doubt GDPR can reach this in any way as it’s foreigners’ data collected and stored in a foreign country.
I’m not sure if it’s directly EU-level, but unauthorized identity registries collected without consent are very illegal here; a certain religious organisation already got into trouble for keeping track of households that might want to talk about jesus. If this app is legal in US, the law really needs to be changed.
Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I don’t know the details of this app, but if it’s specifically US streets and notes on households there, then GDPR does not apply, as they’re not mapping EU households. GDPR is only invoked if the personal information of Europeans is at risk.

It’s creepy that they are collecting data about us without our knowledge nor consent. And having strangers then telling us private details about ourselves.
I wonder how they would react if we did this to them.
XeroxCool@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The crowd of “I have nothing to hide” that also has the highest incidence of minor sexual assault, domestic violence, and infidelity? I think they think they’re talking to God who forgives whatever if you just say sorry and say a couple poems
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.ee 8 months ago
So one thing about the note taking (from an ex-Christian), something that is very common is the fake prophesy or telling you details of your life that you think the person shouldn’t know. I guarantee you they’re using these notes as a way to say that God told them something about you. I’m saying this because I’ve been in churches that did that
TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Good luck with that in our town lol. We recently passed a town wide ordinance against “door to door salesmen” which would cover this bulBarry.

That town ordinance certainly won’t get abused, like it has in the past. Also, it goes against 1A. Just put up a NTP sign and a fence, they’re not suppoed to bother you with that.

Mormons have been doing this for a while, but not quite at the creepy level as this.
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Damn it. We already have to deal with the Mormons and the JWs periodically bothering us. Now numerous evangelical churches will be doing it too? I wish they’d all just get lost and leave people alone.
pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 8 months ago
You misunderstand. This is how they’re going to figure out who to send to the concentration camps.
They’re crowd sourcing genocide.
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That’s a dark-as-fuck take. But honestly, you are probably on to something with it. Many evangelical ‘followers of Christ’ have a very different view on who he was than I and others do. Their Christ is a gun-wielding, xenophobic, intolerant, white skinned, white nationalist.
Of course, if they ever get their wish and pass some of these restrictive, oppressive federal laws against ‘non-believers’, the next phase will be ruthless infighting. Because they will inevitably turn on each other over trivial differences of opinion.

kromem@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I always kind of wonder how it would go if I ever actually answered the door to proselytizing folks.
They’d clearly be unprepared to answer about the late insertion of the fundraising reversal in Luke.
Or the ambiguous engendering of God.
Or the eroding of a matriarchal tradition in early Judaism.
Or that a lot of the stories were probably appropriated from elsewhere.
How long before they fold their arms and say “well I don’t know about that” or “I’ll have to ask my preacher”? Will I stay on their list for another round of discussion, or not?
To date the only folks I’ve interacted with around my neighborhood were Mormon missionaries, who are just so well mannered and youthfully naive I didn’t have the heart to pull out a map that shows the distance between Manchester, NY and Jerusalem.
‘Angry’ proselytizers though I feel like I’d have at least a few words for their deaf ears to balance things out for the rest of the neighborhood having to hear their words in turn.
wavebeam@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Are you trying to convince them they’re wrong? Or just get them to leave you alone? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just tell them you’re a believer (in whatever thing they’re preaching to you) and then wish them a blessed day or whatever? That would surely get them off your back.

Just giving it random data should be good enough. If the users can’t trust the validity of the data, they might stop using the app.
