The controversial comment, *”Church nowadays is a joke and nothing but a manipulative scheme,”* reflects a growing skepticism about the role of churches, especially regarding financial matters. It stems from incidents where some religious leaders focus on money, leading to the perception that churches exploit their members. While this criticism may be valid in certain contexts, generalizing all churches as manipulative can harm communities that genuinely seek to uplift and support their congregations.

Such statements undermine the positive role faith-based organizations play in offering spiritual guidance, charity, and community support. While financial accountability is important, dismissing churches as mere “schemes” erodes trust in institutions that can bring meaningful change. It’s essential to differentiate between isolated incidents and the broader role churches play in society.
