Reply #5: Religious help

[MasonJar]

Most churches do not expect or want government money. The ones I know (especially my wonderful Episcopal Church which is in downtown) gives clothes and meals and time and books and etc. We have incredible parishioners who donate to the Cabbage Patch (a place for poor children to learn), who tutor, who get money and help for job interviews, etc. We have many gay members; we have many of the Lost Boys that we have assisted and given jobs (they are the greatest); we sponsored a Bosnian family. It is our duty and our privilege to help others. We have made such wonderful friends and broadened our perspective with every charity. We are the true recipients of glory. Some churches may do wonders with government money, but many won't. They will instead try to perpetuate their narrow beliefs. That money is better spent on Head Start, the veterans, medical research, and my own personal pet, the environment.
