To: Recovering Ex-hippie

I have also seen a lot of churches that support homeless missions, support a children's home where children are taken away from their families or are orphans, support a maternity center for young women who are pregnant and no where to do. They help arrange adoptions if that's what the woman wants or help her get on her feet if she's going to raise it. Churches do a lot of volunteer community work and help each other. They provide low-cost daycare to women and they see helping others as what Jesus has told us to do. It's kind of like the war, we only hear the bad stuff.

Yes, you are right. I do have respect for those people living out their faith. It's not Christianity that I am critical of, and niether is the author of this article. What he is upset about is those who feel they have a corner on the market of morality, or that their brand of religion is more 'moral" and that people who actually practice what they preach are moral.
