Yes, some religious donations are charitable...
But, giving thousands of dollars to the 700 Club, building a new 25k seat megachurch, or adding a gymnasium onto a church aren't exactly charitable donations, imo.
Would be interesting to see a breakdown of charitable giving looking at money actually going to the needy.
While I will agree with you to a certain extent, the examples you gave are somewhat flawed. Regardless of what organization receives the donation, and regardless of what it is for, if it reduces the demand for municipal services then it is "charitable". The gymnasium is an example of reducing the demand on municipal services. So is private schools.Skjellyfetti wrote:Republicans give so much to charity because they are the most religious.

Sure. But how much does Jesus want you to give? That's the key.[/quote]kalm wrote:Actually, it was the Apostle Paul:LeadBolt wrote:

"2 Corinthians 9:7
New International Version (NIV)
7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

He sure did, except for the fact that Jesus never said that.Col Hogan wrote:I am late to this thread...but I gotta say that Pwns hit a Grand Slam Home Run right there...Pwns wrote:Jesus prefers charity given voluntarily to charity given with government guns pointed at you.

Churches have the best Bingo games, the best potluck suppers, and preacher's daughters... and most don't have a bunch of bums who smell like week old piss hanging around. What's not to like?D1B wrote:Sure. They act more like christ than conkgrubs.AZGrizFan wrote:
