The sad thing is, this is a very ignorant statement. If you actually knew all the community service projects that are put on by local churches, you would know that many more people give their time back to the community than stood in line at Chick fil a the other day.

Educate yourself before you make a statement like that. I'd like to see the non christians do the same. And yes, Christians should do more...everyone should so the inefficient and ineffective govt can do less.

You're always quick to come up with a little picture to speak for you Raees, but I'll bet your news source didn't mention this Beck rally that brought people together to help their fellow man (why would they... it wouldn't fit their purpose). And ya, this is big bad evil Beck... maybe you could enlighten us with something bad they were doing at this rally called Restoring Love.

Just days before the Chick-fil-A controversy hit a fever-pitch, Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Love” brought tens of thousands of Americans — many of them Christians — to Dallas, Texas, to worship, serve and restore. Through the “Day of Service,” these individuals rebuilt homes, renovated churches, fed the poor and engaged in other activities that “Jesus actually said to do.”

So tell us Raees - how many starving children DID you buy sandwiches for?

By the by, no one said anything about buying the chicken to impress Jesus. Can you say red herring and false attribution? I knew you could.

If she doesn't, I will... So-called "christians" are more mouth and condemnation than support.

While I am not a Christian surveys show they tend to give more of thier income to charity.

Yeah, I have read that too. Which makes me wonder why they would be so generous with their money, yet continue to vote for Republicans who, at least right now, are bent on taking support from the sick, the elderly, and the poor. It just doesn't make sense to me. I'm no longer a church goer, but I believe that those of us who have been so blessed to do well in this country and enjoy the security of having a home, not worrying about where our next meal is coming from, can afford good medical care/health insurance, and can afford higher education for ourselves and our children have a moral obligation to help our less advantaged fellow citizens at least obtain the basic necessities and a decent life, especially for their children who did not choose to be born disadvantaged.

It is simply this. Helping your fellow man voluntarily versus threatening your fellow man with jail if he doesn't give to the poor. Currently I give 1/4 of my income to the feds. Should I also have to work 8 hours a week in a soup kitchen or face jail time?

Do you think the fate of millions of poor, disabled, seniors, and children should be left to "the kindness of strangers" do you think people would give enough to charity to replace Social Security, medicare, medicaid, public schools, welfare, food stamps, health care, housing assistance? How would the various charities manage who gets what kind of assistance? How would these charities know what the other charities are doing so as not to duplicate efforts and give too much in one area and leave others without? Would you be ok with some people deciding they don't want to help so those that do give to charity carry a heavier burden?

When is the last time you saw this in a restaurant?

One person had a beautiful voice. I heard him.
