You didn't read the article.























Sure I did. My question stands.







And my answer is... 'no'







Now the point I'm making is I'd like to know why the furloughed gov't employees aren't flocking to the gov't programs for food? Because they're not available? or maybe it takes too long and too much red tape for assistance? When people are hungry they need fed. That's what churches do. feed people. Body first and soul second.







Prov. 22:9 Happy is the generous man, the one who feeds the poor.







James 2:14- 17 Dear brothers, what's the use of saying that you have faith and are Christians if you aren't proving it by helping others? Will that kind of faith save anyone? If you have a friend who is in need of food and clothing, and you say to him, "Well, good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat hearty," and then don't give him clothes or food, what good does that do? So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith. You must also do good to prove that you have it. Faith that doesn't show itself by good works is no faith at all--it is dead and useless.







I'm sure you'll try to find some spiritual trade-offs for food and clothing in there, Harry But there aren't any. So, now that you've read my questions, they stand as well.











Most food banks are not operated by government agencies.



Well then, why not?







So long as



religion isn't piled on the plate with the food, I tip my hat to



religious organizations that feed the hungry.



You mean in the same way that if a church or religious institution is to be used as a polling place they should cover up any crosses or icons?







I am absolutely opposed to any religious building being used as a

polling place, and I fought against that in Florida.

Now that's being a champion of a cause, I guess. So why should church's and religious institutions are 'dangerous' then why should they be allowed to feed and cloth those who are without? That is the governments job, isn't it?

BTW, my questions still stand.
