"Donations"

RE: "Donations"
@ShaMan

I do agree with the principle that has you indignant. Ideally, 100% of charitable contributions should go to the needy (at least 80%). It burns me to learn how much get's eaten up in 'administrative costs.' That's why it's important to research a charity you are interested in donating to.

Out of curiosity a few questions, perhaps rhetorical.
Would you be as mad if the guy collected $20 for charity in a six hour shift (still being paid $10 an hour)?
What about if he collected $5,000 an hour?
What if the guy was an atheist?
If he collects $80 in a shift, makes $60, and gives $20 to the homeless, isn't that $20 more than a lot of people (possibly including you) give?

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
