Do You Need a Hug This Bad?
July 11, 2016 at 7:00 am
So , Christian Charities send believers all around the world just to hug people. Isn't that special. A tax write off too.

https://missionfinder.org/organizations/.../hugteams/

I know people who have done this. Groups of churchgoers at $1000 a person or more flying to Uganda and Honduras. I blame this on those goofy songs that kids learn in Vacation Bible Schools. "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" and "This Little Light of Mine". Do Christians believe they are so special that it is worth the money and carbon footprint to fly half way around the globe to distribute hugs? The level of hubris stuns me.

Would not this money be better spent digging wells for clean water, opening schools and medical clinics, advocating for equality for women?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
