I am so adamant that I don't even give to any charities if I find out that they have religious affiliations of any kind. I have always felt that I wanted to give to St. Judes Hospital for children with cancer. But my hatred for religion does not allow me to do so.
I can relate! One of the neighbor's kids knocked on my door one day looking for people to sponsor him on a charity walk. I signed up and pledged five bucks. A couple of weeks later I received a notification in the mail telling me where to send my pledge. It was for a CATHOLIC SCHOOL! Now, if I had known from the get-go that the money was going to a Catholic School I would have said no. I just ripped up the thing and threw it away. Another couple of weeks went by and I received another notice from the school. This time the form had SECOND NOTICE stamped across the top in red! Like this is some type of bill I had better pay! Can you believe the gall? I ripped that up as well and never sent any money. It was also the last time I heard from them.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
