Atheist Evangelism

[Ahriman]

It doesn't matter.  He won't answer the hypothetical, for Reasons[tm].

Angr, I -have- answered the hypothetical.  Even when it looks, especially from the view of a hungry person, that religious charities and direct food charities are a good thing.  Objectively speaking and by the numbers - they are not.  They actually exacerbate hunger and poverty.  I do not want it to be this way, I have worked for years in this sector not because I thought it was this way....this is just me, as I said, spilling the beans about organizations that give away beans.

Want to change it?  Don't give a food pantry canned goods.  Give it cash money to build a walk in.  Even the charities themselves are better served by cash infusion.  You'll still be a part of the perpetuation of the problem, but you'd at least be closer to doing whatever you think religious food pantries are doing.

They exacerbate hunger and poverty......by giving away food for free? I'm not following your logic on this.
