7. I can

While I applaud their charity, it still comes with a price. That price is evangelism. When they give their charity anonymously without commercials, then they will earn my respect.
Does a murderer get a free pass if he buys a bowl of soup for a homeless person? I'm sorry, but the church has committed genocide in such large numbers that all the free soup in the world can never buy forgiveness. To earn that, they would have to end their homophobia, misogyny, religious intolerance, and sincerely and meaningfully admit and apologize for their transgressions against humanity. That's not even being contemplated in any religious body or by any grass-roots network of humble priests, nuns and laity in places like Sudan.
