[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I see from this thread is a mess of people not helping truly poverty stricken people, and complaining about the people that actually help.

Get off your duff and put your money where your mouth is.

Chances of that are zero. Missionaries at least help some people. More than the whiners in this thread do.

Move to communist China and get your missionary banning kicks. You will love it there.[/quote]

DP here.  I'd list what I give and the charitable work I do, but that would make me almost as much of an asshole as you for assuming it to be zero.

What makes the secular gift better is a lack of ulterior motive.  Get it?[/quote]

62% of religious households give to charity compared to 46% of unaffiliated households (Philanthropy Daily).

So religious household are bad because their religious beliefs encourage them to give more?

The important thing is people donate time and money to help others. Period. Just because you don’t agree with their motivation, doesn’t negate the act nor the charity.

Ridiculous people on this thread would rather poverty stricken people receive no or less help because of “religion.” Get over yourself. Your personal opinions aren’t more important than people in need receiving help and aid.

If religious groups dangled food and water and medical help in front of those in need and demanded the people in need convert publicly before they could receive the help, that would be proselytizing. That’s not what is happening.

Religious groups have the means and infrastructure and funding to help those in need. If that offends you, do something about it.
