The Christian church near my house (here in Japan) has a charity program for homeless people. They give food coupons and tickets to the public baths. They coordinate with city and prefectural agencies to make sure that all health and assistance programs are being used. They do the paperwork, if necessary. Real people benefit. Nothing is asked in return.
Would you argue that this charity is fake? If people give their time and money, and suffering is relieved, isn't it real?

What is your argument for saying that practical help for living people, in this world, is based on misanthropy? Wouldn't you have to see into the private motivations of people in a different hemisphere for you to reach this conclusion?
