Well said. I always respected Christianity not being a Christian. After looking at the posts I feel that the belief in religion dominates the humanity among those who wrote about their passion of Christianity. Christianity should bring out the human in you not the animal. By only helping Christians, you are helping your beliefs rather than people. I can say that who ever wrote those religion inclined comments above, never gave anything. I apologize if anyone really gave something. But, I don’t believe even if they say so.

I do fully understand the need to change name. Christianity is a sensitive issue in China. I run a website Christian English Teaching in China and we know we have to be careful about what we say.

I totally agreew with Priyaranjan. I think it’s pathetic how other Christian’s fuss about how something isn’t evangelizing God or isn’t run by Christians. I’m a Christian myself and it upsets me. Didn’t God tell us those of us who help the least of these does it for me? Must we CHOOSE which people we consider “the least of these” or that we have to teach them about Him? No, He just tells us to help them. Too many Christians nowadays worry so much about their Catechism, traditions, and theology too much. I mean, yes God likes the fact that we look into that stuff, but it wasn’t the main reason He sent Jesus here, was it? It was cause of LOVE, and get that into your heads. Love sees past all things... past greed, past pride, past inconvenience, past the fact that the people that are doing what God asks (which is to help our brothers and sisters who are unfortunate) aren’t doing it in the name of God, but in the name of love for impoverished children. Yes, I go to church, I pray, etc etc as every “good Christian” does, but that’s not the most important thing. I don’t go overboard with praying, or worshipping, “fighting for our faith”, but I’d rather use that time for helping others. As for me, I just saw the Childfund commercial and I’m considering maybe being a sponsor... and I’m 18, full time college, and make an average of less than $250 a month (still live with parents so yes, I’m sustained). But yea, think about it, God doesn’t NEED anything, all He cares about is love because He IS love. So why do we waste time giving God everything when he needs nothing, rather than helping others and giving love?
