Person Exposes Greedy Pastors By Showing What Expensive Designer Items They Wear Every Day
Interview
Practice what you preach. We expect our leaders—no matter who they are—to maintain certain standards of decency and to uphold the same values they profess to support. Those expectations are very clear when it comes to religious authority figures, whom we hope to be charitable and to focus more on the spiritual rather than the material things in life. Alas!
The ‘Preachers N Sneakers’ Instagram account, run by Dallas-based Ben Kirby, calls out those religious leaders who act like hypocrites by showing how some of them wear extremely expensive designer items. Having amassed a following of 247k followers in two years, Kirby continues to show the dissonance between what preachers, pastors, and priests say and what the details of their clothing reveal about their actual lifestyles.
Bored Panda reached out to Kirby and spoke to him about keeping religious leaders accountable and what keeps his relationship with his faith strong. Be sure to read on for his insights.
When you’re done looking through this list, you’ll find Bored Panda’s earlier article about ‘Preachers N Sneakers’ right over here. Just in case you wanted some more content before your upcoming Sunday service, that is (we sincerely hope your pastor is more down to earth than the ones featured here).

It just doesn't sit right that religious leaders make a personal profit off their parishioners. Make a living, sure, but I struggle to see how taking so much excess from the church pot can be seen to be in line with any religion.

As a Christian, let me say that this is bullshit. If they read the Bible at all, there’s no basis for this prosperity gospel bullshit. Jesus said, “Sell all you own, give to the poor, and follow me.” Not, “Lie to your parishioners, buy yourself $1000+ shoes, and make sure you get a Supreme beach ball while you’re at it.”

Aside from the "preacher" thingy, who the hell pays so much for clothes just because there is a particular label on it?
Hans 5 years ago
I was also wondering that. I normally buy quality stuff that lasts and I like to pay a good price for that. But there is an upper limit a certain piece can cost based on its function, unless it is made for a moon exploration maybe. 1000 USD sneakers are just ridiculous. These people essentially pay a few dollars to those who make the articles (just like with cheapers articles), a few dollars to those who actually design them (maybe a few more than with cheaper articles), and most of that to the brand.
