Faith will feed you

[Strike For The South]

They do this everytime and you still get aid if you dont convert. They try and persuade you but they dont have a gun to your head.

[Templar Knight]

I dont see why they have to convert, shouldn't they get help regardless? Is this still the dark ages? Totally wrong

I don't see why you didn't read this thread all the way through. No source, and bartix was very unclear. Is it that unreasonable for a charity to try to get you to convert after they help you?

[Templar Knight]

Not if they want to convert. I read it that you have to convert to get the goods.

[Paul Peru]

Where's the beef?
I'm lacking in faith, so I can't find it.

Found something in Swedish...

Seems Save the Children et al are upset about some christian charities attaching spiritual salvation to the material variety. There is a report forthcoming, apparently. We'll hear more about this one.

What's so wrong about saving the soul as well? They'll be eternally grateful, come eternity.

and nothing from the others (are there buddist or muslim charities?)

Yes there are Buddhist and Muslim charities, as well as Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Shinto, and Jewish charities. Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on goodwill.
Just do a Google search for "(religion's name) charity" there's plenty.
