Reply #71: I've already given you links to organizations that are secular. Many of them. [View All]

You've ignored my posts about this several times. Religious organizations are NOT the only thing out there helping the poor. You persist in trying to link poverty relief with religion, and I object.

Doctors without Borders. Goodwill. Unicef. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Most of these orgs work hand in hand with govt organizations to effect poverty relief and they are ALL secular. Directly, the US food stamp program comes to mind as a relief agency as does the agency that administers the free hot lunch program in schools. These are thousands of relief organizations that are both govt and govt/private agency partnerships that work together to ameliorate poverty.

I personally assist, weekly, with my COUNTY agency at the food bank so I know whereof I speak. I organize and direct weekly food drives so I'm on the front line of community action that is NOT church related and I resent your smears regarding those of us who are NOT religious.

I'm thoroughly SICK and TIRED of your egregious slams against "progressive action" for poor people that isn't faith based. We're out here. We're effective. And we're a hell of a lot of dollars that you persist in denigrating.

Ingrates like you are beginning to piss me off. Get the fucking chip off your shoulder and begin to recognize that churches aren't the only poverty-saviors out there.
