Yea, I used to work in a soup kitchen regularly with a group from my church, a lot of the work and the people doing it are great - but we didn't evangelize and I think that's how it should work. As a religious organization feel free to support charities and note that your organization accepts people from all walks of life - even include pamphlets if you'd like... but the aggressive evangelism is where it gets weird - if dinner and shelter that I require to live is contingent on me accepting religion then that shifts religion from a freely associated faith into an exchange.
- PaulHoule 7y agoSame here. I volunteered at Loaves and Fishes and it was not a place where people would force religion down your throat if you didn't want it.
- FisDugthop 7y agoSee, that name sounds like religion-down-the-throat. When I was younger, and I volunteered at a food bank in (let's call it) Foo County, it was called "Food for Foo County". Ambiance matters.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoThat is about the minimum possible religious content, so little that many people would not even notice. And you regard that as "religion-down-the-throat"? I would suggest that you are a bit hypersensitive.
