Giving to church =/= giving to charity.


Churches increase the life expectancy of regular members, and are top contributors to social programs which help the poor and needy.

Of course giving to your local Church is charity, what an obnoxious thing to say.

Having satisfying sex 2-3 times a week extends your life too, but no one considers your mother a charity.

Lol, this is such a terrible post.

Yes, buying private jets for Joel Osteen counts as charity as long as one poor person gets a sandwich

And lol, conservatives make more money because they donate more to charity, holy fucking shit, what an embarrassing non-argument.


I respect you greatly for posting a reliable academic source. But now youre just resorting to non sequitors and stawmen.

What are you talking about? It isn't a dichotomy. People spend money on things, like a house, their church, their car, etc. They can also donate money to charities. It isn't a dichotomy, it is just people doing different things.

You love to throw out informal fallacies though and I love it :lol:



I doubt this. Administration costs at any given charity is really low and it has to be or else 501c3 status would be in jeopardy.

Nonprofit administration costs is usually much lower than any private sector example providing similar services. There is more competition and the profit motive isn't there so value is maximized for the users and not the shareholders in the end.


This doesnt deserve a response but Ill point it out anyway.

Non sequitor. You moved the goal post from churches to companies AND without providing statistics...

That would be your trick with the 'conservatives make more money because' argument for which you provide nothing but your lack of expertise as back up

Yes it does.


If the church belongs to a foundation, has 501c3 status, etc, then yes. Not all churches have a food pantry that the general public can just walk up to. The ones that do are something far beyond a church and are a business as well.

Throwing money together to proselytize or fix get new pews is like buying a new deck on your house.

Informal charity systems are important for sure, I agree, churches help.

The study you posted said conservatives had 10% higher income.
