What do you think of a church playing games and givng money for prizes?

a church is having a gathering for men and they're going to play pool and video games. for pool its a $1000 prize and for video games its $250 prize.



do you think the winning money is coming from the tithe others put in?





the pastor said "the main reason for this is to draw men into the church"What do you think of a church playing games and givng money for prizes?
Good thinking. Let's use the money people drawn into church gave us to draw some more men into church, so we can use the money they give us to draw more...

If you'd said that there's a $10 entry fee or something, I'd say that OK, they calculated that they're going to make more money than they'll spend (like the lottery does), and, while from a religious point of view it's still wrong, it would make sense from a business point of view.

But spending church money on PR is just wrong, no matter how you look at it.
