How the fuck do you know that? did you read anything I said, there's plenty of people who do good just to get into "heaven" and there's plenty of people who try to blanket forgive themselves and hold bibles over the heads of starving people to convert them or they let them die. And there's also sectors of Christians in Africa that teach that condoms are worse than AIDS, how exactly are those things helping? you think just giving out food with baggage attached to it is truly helping? Maybe it is you that's warped.

Preaching is genuine? where's the proof for this nonsense they preach? how does it give people hope to believe in false realities? If I went over to Africa with a pixie fairy that gives you 1000 wishes does that mean I get to just teach my shit as fact or hold shelter and food over the heads of people who need help.
The plain fact is, there is no god and especially not for the poor and dying, gimme a fuckin break, a loving god makes 50%+ of the world poor as fuck, get real. The idea back in the day was that poor and sick people somehow angered their god and that was their sin being brought to the surface so to speak and that anything good that happened was god shining his light on them even though they were complete assholes ruining the world, aka the people with the power and money which they hijacked from the masses in the first place with lies and mythology, selling back their own livelihood and intergrity in small doses in a religion. Pityful.

What god? theres fucking thousands of gods and the areas of the world they are going to havnt heard of that particular bullshit story, they grew up with their own and these white bread christians try to go over their and dictate their lives with their religion, their ideas, their food, shelter and money they dont give them unless they accept another bullshit story.
And if you think not preaching while giving out food is hypocritical of them, then fuck them and that religion, sure they may be hypocrites in teh sense that their ancient mythology says that demons caused sickness and poverty when the fact is that thats bullshit and we've moved on to "its just good to help people out" not that you can be able to help, but its okay to help them but you can also prostelytize when they need help...now people are slowly realizing the stupid shit religious people try to push.

The missions really are the marketing arm of the church, but only mixed in with a large motivation to help others. It would be better if they were secular, because then there wouldn't be the apparent conflict of interest.
How the hell is that any different than what I suggested, Secular-aid for the fuckin' win, son.
