    I was part of the Knights of Columbus in the Catholic church (the funny hat AND sword guys). I had been a Catholic for years, they gave a good pitch about whole life insurance and charity, and I was naive. We did a blood drive and pancake breakfast, honestly life saving stuff that was super easy to do. I asked them “why don’t we do this every month and make it easy for people to remember to do”. They said “that’s too much work” and “let’s not get overly ambitious”. That’s when I realized it’s all for show, they didn’t want to actually help people, they wanted to self promote. I decided to dive into my work as a neurodiagnostic tech and just lead a good life and actually help people instead of do the church thing.
