How to tell if a religion is B.S.

Thank you.  I was getting tired of biting my lip.

So, then, Buddhism is cool.  Sorry, no.

Hypothetical:  You have two options only:  You can give £10 to a secular charity for hungry children, or £100 to a religious charity for hungry children.  In both cases, you are given iron-clad assurance that 100% of your donation will go to the kids.

Which do you do?

Boru

Neither.  I go to the nearest pub to think it over.  By the time I'm done, the problem has resolved itself.

Far be it from me to say ANY thing against going to the pub, but that's not one of the options presented.

Funny, though - you're one of the last people here I expected to dodge the question.

When a hypothetical is presented, the respondent isn't permitted to add provisos of his/her own.

So, your position is that it would be better to give £10 to feed hungry children than £100?

Boru

You real question is does the actual charitable benefit of giving to a religious charity outweigh the harm of any proselytizing effect the religion extracts from running the charity.

The answer is it depends.

No, my real question is, 'Does the fact that a charitable institution is operated by a religious organization prevent you from donating?.
