The point, tazzy, is that charities are not a function solely of religion.

no Master, nor did i say they were. i asked merely what would happen.. what changes.. if religions were to close their doors... in essence saying.. no more. sadly.. everyone seems to be so concerned about religion taking over that they cannot see the good it does in their own communities.

religion isnt bad... whats bad are the people who do bad things in the name of religion.

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

Money is money no more or less will exist (in the whole economic system) than before, people will spend on projects as their morality tells them and people will set up such projects on their own. For every charity set up by a religious organisation I bet you could easily find one set up by a non religious organisation or individual, if your tried?

Even with the ones set up with religious funding you have to ask yourself if the organiser is actually religious or if they just know that religion is taking a whole heap of money out of the economic system in the name of good causes and they could tap into that? Much like lottery funding, how many charity organisers believe in the lottery?

im sorry you are so jaded. seems like that is how everyone believes, though.

eventually, Master... but how long... and which ones.. and who would organize?

Now see, I have faith - in PEOPLE. If religion closed their doors then the people would think with their feet and just organise the charities elsewhere. I find it really sad that some people have such little faith in human nature to continue.

And those that only do the chariety thing because of their religion? That's just no big loss anyway.

the.dark.

i also have faith in people, both religious and non religious. i guess the point of this thread was to get people to actually think about how much religious efforts could affect their own lives and their community.

i suppose i failed

From the responses I have seen so far, I take it that the word "religion" actually means the Abrahmic and/or the Judea-Christian religions?

No Master Orion, i was referring to any faith based charity/organization that actually supports the people in their communities.

I agree. But many very vocal and religious people are indeed bent on taking over.

I wish the other religious people would stand up to them. Until that happens...religion naturally is going to take some criticism.

I once took a trip to see the religious wonderland... PTL. im sure many remember it. and it was beautiful, the people there were so psyched. those who donated were so into what was being created.

and they got robbed. but as one man stated... wasnt the religion who robbed us.. was the man in charge.
