Charity Is Not Religion by Nobody: 11:26am On Jul 15, 2012 |
I was thinking about this today so i digged out an interesting discourse that touches on this issue from this link. enjoy reading Sunday, October 11, 2009 i totally agree with this because this same religion you call charity have also been the creation of more pain that demands charitable work to ease off. and considering that the non-religious wealthy people are the greatest donors when it comes to charity. its simple, charity is not religion imo |

diluminati: i totally agree with this because this same religion you call charity have also been the creation of more pain that demands charitable work to ease off. and considering that the non-religious wealthy people are the greatest donors when it comes to charity. its simple, charity is not religion imo Sometimes I do often wonder if such "charitable" donations from certain bodies with a murky past are just to ease of their conscious or repair their reputation although it would be unfair to use that to discredit all especially those with good intentions. But do those seemingly good intentions actually cater to what is "good" for those in need? I considered this because Charity/Aids etc is influence and whilst it may sometimes be detectable to outline the objective of some charity bodies i.e. some religious charity organizations have an ulterior aim to proselytize....intentions from other organizations may be much more subtle....again this doesn't reflect on all members from specific charitable bodies. I find even the concept of an atheist charity to be silly, because besides alienating a good deal of the population as potential donors... I fully agree with this point. Furthermore charity should not even be a competition and despite what may have influenced ones charitable giving no group has a monopoly on charity. |

In the Nigerian Context 'Charity has been made and indoctrinated into religion'....If one gives he holds in it in his heart that he does so to receive a reward... |

emöfine2: on point there. definitely these religious groups do these charity work to get more members and in turn even sell their books or videos, items etc and yes they have good intentions depending on the way we see them. but looking out of the box, the way it is stated that charity is an act of worship to God or doing God's job to me doesnt make sense because there are many people who dont believe in God making changes in the world and their effect is even more grand. Why i brought up this topic is to divert peoples stance towards charity due to constant religion mind control, many people dissatisfied with religion now see it as a burden or some kind of duty they dont want to get associated with because of the God factor, to do charity, especially those who now feel anger on their pastors and churches pulling some fast one on them. |
