You've conveniently truncated this as well: Religious charities have been helping the needy for close to 2k years. Why not give the money to originations that do that the best? My objection was to your apparent claim that Christians have been the _best_ source of charity for 2000 years. > You said: > This just shows an ignorance of history... 200 yrs -- > maybe... in the > last 2K years, christians have risen from being a small > unloved cult > to dominating much of the earth, and have done so on many > occasions on > the blood and backs of innocent people. > .... > and you went on about some more off topic rant :P As I said, I posted a clarification which you've decided to conveniently forget. Above and beyond the inability to evaluate the effectiveness of charity stretching back 2000 years, the violence perpetrated in the name of God by Christians in that time more than negates any benefits which might have been seen from a 10% or even a 5% tithe anyway. "Gee, thousands dead, but they have very few poor people, we should make them responsible for our money." Not a good answer. So if a murderer has "a good track record" of dealing with children, does this mean we should hire him as a school teacher? s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:156965 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
