It puts a lot of features at the fingertips of the faithful, including the ability to filter whole neighborhoods by religion, ethnicity, “Hispanic country of origin,” “assimilation,” and whether there are children living in the household.
Its core function is to produce neighborhood maps and detailed tables of data about people from non-Anglo-European backgrounds, drawn from commercial sources typically used by marketing and data-harvesting firms.
training videos produced by users show the extent to which evangelical groups are using sophisticated ways to target non-Christian communities, with questionable safeguards around security and privacy.
In one instance, he points to the sharable note-taking function and suggests leaving information for each household, such as “Daughter left for college” and “Mother is in the hospital.”
increasingly popular among Christian supremacist groups, prayerwalking calls on believers to wage “violent prayer” (persistently and aggressively channeling emotions of hatred and anger against Satan), engage in “spiritual mapping” (identifying areas where evil is at work, such as the darkness ruling over an abortion clinic, or the “spirit of greed” ruling over Las Vegas), and conduct prayerwalking (roaming the streets in groups, “praying on-site with insight”).
newly arrived refugees might well find a knock on the door from strangers with knowledge of their personal circumstances distressing—and that’s before these surprise visitors even begin to attempt to convert them.
placing people of different ethnic and religious backgrounds on easy-to-access databases is a dangerous road to go down

Well according to his user name he’s a friend of Satan so that’s pretty cool
So one thing about the note taking (from an ex-Christian), something that is very common is the fake prophesy or telling you details of your life that you think the person shouldn’t know. I guarantee you they’re using these notes as a way to say that God told them something about you. I’m saying this because I’ve been in churches that did that
Edit: many say they don’t encourage it, but it doesn’t matter if someone gets “saved”
Wow, the Christian app that lets you sort people by religion ALSO lets you sort them by race and ethnicity?
I am shocked. SHOCKED!
Well, not that shocked.
I sincerely hope that when they come to my door again, I am in the middle of carving up a side of beef, again. Last time some Mormons knocked on my door, I opened the door, and what they saw was a 6’3" blonde Viking with no shirt, a bloody carving knife, and wiping blood off my hands. When I saw who it was I yelled over my shoulder, (to an almost empty apartment,) “Hey guys, you can let the goat go! I just found us a couple of virgins!”
They retreated rather quickly.
I love this comment lol
Even if it didn’t, what’s the point in spoiling the fun fantasy that it did? I choose to think of it happening fondly.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Interesting.
If they’ve built an app that can target non-christian demographics, then they’ve also built an app to target christians.
I wonder if they’ve made that realization yet.
the developer definitely mentioned it, and the management said “that will never happen”
The Satanic Temple be like: “It’s free real estate”
We need to get them involved
I had such an apologetic coming up to me. When i told them my name was “‘Julia’); DROP TABLE neighborhoods;” they were immediately irate!
Aw, little Julie tables! I wondered how you turned out after your sister left town. How’s the transition coming?
It’s fine. Transitioning to Couchbase was fine. Was a bit weird getting used to NoSQL… Oh you mean my hormone therapy!
And how is… Mr? Neighborhoods?
can we poison this data?
Defo gonna try lol
Please keep me updated lol
I tried but they want you to give them your home address and I didn’t feel like doxing myself. I’m going to have to come up with a different home address that’s valid in their system. At the same time I don’t want to cause grief for the person whose address I use. Maybe I can use a church address.
Use the churche of Scientologys address
Yeah I’m wondering what happens if we download it and start giving it bad data. Just say everyone is Christian, or that you’ve met with everyone in your town every day.
Just giving it random data should be good enough. If the users can’t trust the validity of the data, they might stop using the app.
Why would you say everyone’s a Christian? Might as well have some fun. Change all the ones marking themselves as Christians to say that they’re gay liberal polygamists or something.
I figured obviously incorrect data on potential users of the app would be sussed out rather quickly, but posing as a devout bigot who has been converting everyone in town would be more “believable.”
Betcha their tracking the shout out of their users.
But you could spoof that with a simulator.
Never seems like a good thing when a religious group starts counting
Funny you should mention that.
In the mythology of the bible, 2 Samuel 24 talks about how King David took a census of Israel, and it pissed god off so much that he killed 70,000 completely uninvolved Israelis over it, and would have killed more but he stopped when he got to Jerusalem.
And these modern day chuckleheads are doing it on purpose, lol. If only they believed a fraction of their own holy book, I would have the best time gladly explaining to them via scholarly biblical exegesis how and why they’re gonna DIE a nasty death if they do this.
If only. -sigh-
That’s such a weird passage. I can’t be understanding this correctly. God tells David to count the people. David sends his generals to count the people. They report the count back to David, who apologizes and says he sinned for doing what God told him to do? IDGI
Turns out there’s a lot of historical context. Also, whether it was God or Satan who influenced David is somewhat ambiguous thanks to quirks in translation.
Thanks!
Yeah. In a nutshell. The number of commentaries, old and new, formal and informal, asking the exact same questions from every possible angle, are countless. And every single one of them is pointed at trying to make it make some kind of sense, lol.
So, in theory, The Satanic Temple could make an app to mark all the Christian households then. I wonder if they’d be interested in that.
What do you mean? That app is already made, it’s the one mentioned in this post.
I suppose that app of theirs would work both ways 😂 But the temple app could open with a splash page of the Baphomet statue with the children.
Do you think if the Satanic Temple made a line-by-line copy of their app, but painted it black/red, the Evangelists would cry foul and complain about everything we’re complaining about?
What am i saying? Of course they would.
Imagine how upset they’d be to see their homes marked out in a “Satanic” app with notes like ‘has three young children’.
And a baby! Yummmm…
I bet they have enough members in the field to have it built for free. Hell, if I was an app dev I would chip in on the project.
Fucking Christians, they just can’t believe in their fairy tale daddy in the sky and leave the rest of us alone, they have to smear their god like shit everywhere. Religion is a mental illness, it’s long overdue we start treating it that way.
Of course it’s some shit-stain in Florida doing this.
Just Google map search Mapping Center for Evangelism and his home address pops up.
Doesn’t Florida let you shoot anyone on your property for any reason?
The fact white supremacists hijacked the Christian religion and is using it to effectively push their ideology is telling. I remember when they tried to take over punk music and were quickly told “ Nazi Punks Fuck Off”. Turns out punks have better morals than Christians. Hilarious.
Turns out punks have better morals than Christians.
I don’t think that any reasoning person thought otherwise.
Were you around for the satanic panic bullshit in the 70s or 80s? They painted punks (which were lumped in with metalheads and anyone who didn’t dress like yuppies) as dangerous degenerates back then.
Worked as a nice filter to gain more independent thinkers into those genres though I guess, so it worked out in the end.
I wasn’t around personally but I’m familiar with the story.
My point is really that any reasoning person sees that the punk mindset is generally pretty morally sound.
I don’t think the parents, preachers and politicians involved in the satanic panic were super logical people tbh.
“Hijacked” implies they weren’t a welcomed part of it from the beginning.
No doubt, yet I feel the movement (to expand) has been organized and pushed by white supremacists and not Christians.
Yes they’ve always been racist, But this time it’s much different. Nazis and white Supremacists have blended in with them. I believe this a very important nuanced distinction.
Punks have outstanding morals.
Do you want to weaponize the autistism against you? Cause this is how you weaponize autism against you.
Ask Shia Lebouff how well that goes.

All I can say is that it is better to have and not need than to need and not have. As a liberal, I am armed and I advocate for every liberal to arm themselves. America is headed to a dark place.
Well, looks like I’ll have to start answering the door in my underwear again
Or, you forget the underwear, and they’ll wish they forgot to knock on your door!
