The Social Gospel: Attracting the Masses with Bread
Jesus proved that if people are attracted by cake and ice cream, when the food runs out, so do the people! This approach is flawed and wrong. It is not the mandate of the church to attract people by offering them more benefits then joining the local social club. Use religion to attract and you will attract fewer people, but they will be there 10 years later after all the party animals have joined another church that puts on a bigger and better party! Good riddance!
