They can do things but that is not their main purpose so why not give it to a organisation where that is their main purpose instead.Howedar wrote:Complete strawman. I never said anything about other charities.
Honestly, I wish people could get past their church=bad thing sometimes. I'm not going to say any church is perfect, or even close. But they can do good things.
Faith-based charities ... how about no charities?

Why not? If the same service is rendered for the same cost, what right do you have to tell me to give my money to a different organization?

Well for a start its not your money, and I would have a great deal to say about the way in which things were done, if for example you where using slave labour to complete the requirements I wouldn't care how much cheaper you where, this is just an example to show that the end isn't the only concern in this or any situation. It also has to do with who has the use of those funds and the return they get from them.Howedar wrote:Why not?

If you are talking about your own money then I don't care unless it dramatically impactsa upon my world view (if you were supporting slavers I would have something to say)

Sorry, wasn't clear. Government money should definately not go to any religious institution, nor should it go to any other nonprofit IMHO.
