Oh I thought you'd said church. > Have you ever heard of charity? > They are/where pretty good at it. Definitely alot of great secular charities out there. Churches certainly don't have any corner on that market. Thought most charities usually don't invest in huge symbols for their rooftops and buildings - so I guess they actually have more to apply to actual charity work. So if you think that people have stopped giving to churches because of the scandals, they presumably are still giving to charity, just not churches. Unless it's really just the economy and has nothing to do with the scandals at all. Seriously though, and this isn't an argument, it's something I have thought about before... If all the money currently donated to churches were to go directly to charities instead, could more good be done in this world? If huge fancy church buildings (that mostly sit empty 6 days a week) didn't have to be maintained, and all that goes along with it - would we be able to double the charity work that could be done? Triple it? Interesting thought... -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
