1 /5 Shane Pearson: One Star - Hypocritical and Heartless
Im writing this review because of the appalling treatment I received from the staff at St. Augustine Church. As someone who is currently homeless, I found a small comfort in playing catch with my dog in the open field next to the church. It was a peaceful activity that harmed no one.
However, the woman who runs the church decided it was appropriate to not only take pictures of me without my permission but also to kick me out of the field and parking area. This kind of behavior is exactly why people are turned off from organized religion. Its hypocritical and far from Christ-like. Instead of showing compassion or offering help, they chose to treat me like a nuisance.
This isnt how you encourage people to follow your faith; its how you drive them away. The actions of this church feel more like a cult than a place of worship. If this is how they treat those in need, I want nothing to do with it.
