Apples and oranges.

While a church has to be run like a business, it itself is not a business.

While a church has to be run like a business, it itself is not a business.

Yes it is. If a Bible-based conservative church, it is in the business of saving souls, creating opportunities for service and improving the lot of mankind through Christ-centered actions and teachings.

If a libtard feel-good church, it is in the business of pushing big government solutions under the cloak of faux Christianity.

There is no escape from the business model in either case.
