You were having a half decent debate until this utterly ridiculous statement.
JESUS? JESUS? Using what money for what drugs? I think you probably meant the "church", maybe?
What "non profit" charity do you donate to? Are you saying then that PEOPLE that run those "charities" are somehow immune to fallacy somehow? How is that possible? In other words, you are so harsh on PEOPLE that run "churches" or attend them, yet you in the same breath trust in PEOPLE that run a so called "non profit" charity to do something extraordinary with your donation????? That my friend is an oxymoron.
You can't have it both ways. In one hand you keep saying that "church" is one thing because PEOPLE are this and that, then on the other hand you say that you would rather give to anything other than a church that is also run by PEOPLE. ????? What exactly is that makes the "PEOPLE" in that "non profit" organization any better or less apt to drugs, addictions, throwing away your money, molesting children, or any of the things you attribute to the "church"????
BTW, you do realize that many many "non profit" organizations are "non profit" labeled for tax purposes only? A great many of them do in fact make millions in "profits". The difference is that they can SPEND it in many ways that you or I couldn't and they pay no taxes on that money. I personally have seen a few "non profit" organizations that even have religious names to seem legit that are nothing more than fronts to launder money into someone's pockets w/o paying taxes. None of those I'm referring to EVER gave a dime to a needy person. So please be careful and don't think for a minute that simply because an organization has the monicker of "non profit" that A) they don't MAKE any money; B) they are designed to help anyone; and C) they are somehow immune to HUMAN fallacies because they are in fact made up of HUMANS too.
