I’ll just put up a facial shot in the samctuary somewhere.
LOL. What Next?
“I don’t object to the concept of a deity, but I’m baffled by the notion of one that takes attendance.”
This is way over the top. I’d change church, maybe even religion, should my church think this is right or necessary.
I say we use it at all polling places on election day to see who’s voting more than once.
Big Church, big bucks, big business, high overhead, and most of all...GREED.
The churches mentioned using facial recognition proves the point that money is far more important that the lessons taught. To illustrate that point, they need to let the religious “lemmings” know that not only is “Big Brother” watching you but “Big Holy Roller” is too...and he needs your money too.
Nothing better than to let the “Sunday Christians” know who’s there and who’s not. Makes them feel more superior don’t you know.
Intimidation and shame is a proven method to drive those paying customers to the big church on Sunday.
He knows where we are on Sunday morning... and that's all that matters.
This would probably do well in Germany, where citizens are required to pay a special tax to support whatever their declared religion/church is.
It would catch people who declare “none” but still go to church.
