They won't. It is the natural result of believing in magical solutions.
Right, that explains the complete lack of Christian charities. Oh, wait...
Yeah, as you hold a bible over starving children, forcing them to convert or starve. Yeah I'd convert too if it meant getting some fuckin food and shelter. And there are plenty of secular charities all over the world, so dont pretend your religion has the market on helping people. They dont hold food as a weapon to convert, its sickening and you should be ashamed that you think religion is the only thing that causes people to do good. To me, people who do that have no sense of morality because they have to have a reason to do good, or be scared into doing good. The people who do good without supernatural hogwash are the real heroes, and yes even religious people who help without converting are helping too, just in a less positive way for mankind. Cut the superfluous religious nonsense and you have my endorsement for helping starving and sick kids. But since you feel the need to be pretentious about your religion, I wont support any charity that holds basic needs hostage for their religion.
