Reply #110: Being "affliliated" doesn't matter. REally, it doesn't.

There may be some areas left where churches give a damn, but not where I have seen it. For the most part, churches no longer have any direct contact with poor people. They may give donations to some "help" agency that doles out a few canned goods, but that is pretty much it. It doesn't matter if you are a member or not... if you are in need, you need to go elsewhere.

To put it bluntly... back a few months ago when I was so sick, I was severely dehydrated and low blood sugar. The church where I was wouldn't even let me use the damned restroom, let alone help me with getting some nutrition into me! That was a real eye-opener to me of just how inhuman people in this society have become.

"Progressives" only think in terms of charity when it comes to homelessness. We see it all the time here. Trying to get through to PROGRESSIVES that that is exactly what the conservatives want, and that CHARITY cannnot and will not solve anything just makes people mad. I don't even have any idea any more how to get through to people. Its like a damned brick fucking wall!
