Maybe you might answer the questions? I mean, the direct questions in this reply to you? Here, I've emboldened them to help you out.
I thought my responses covered it, but I will clarify:
Was I wrong to help out in a religious foodbank: Yes and no. Yes in that supporting the continued place of religion in society is wrong, no in that helping the poor is good. It would be preferable if such charity was done with no religious motivation or involvement.
Were they wrong: As above - yes and no.
Are your personal feelings more important than helping the needy: Whatever leads to less overall harm over time is more valuable than what creates more suffering over time. I believe the eradication of religion reduces overall suffering over time. With that in mind, feeding the poor is best done without religion.
Talking about answering questions directly, can you answer the question I asked you over on the '+' thread about what issue you have with me that explains your repeated unnecessary rudeness towards me. Thanks.
