TIL: You used to have to pay to be close to the pulpit

I figured religion being all about the money was a newer trend, but apparently it was always the case.

I'm reading In-N-Out (about the burger chain) and they explain how Free Methodist churches came about. The word Free meant you didn't have to pay for a good seat closer to God.

Organized religion is such a joke. A brilliant joke, but a joke nonetheless.
