I'll give you the drug testing point. Unfortunately, the churches have dropped the ball on this one, and so have charities- and the government foolishly picked it up.
Frankly, the families, churches should just pick the ball back up now that the government has dropped the ball again.
No, the government started offering better options than the churches years ago. Churches weren't giving people copious amounts of money on a card that can be used for anything including crab legs and steak. They weren't giving up sodas and candy bars. They were giving out basic nutritional Staples.
The government also cant discriminate against people trying to abuse the system unlike churches.
The Democrats knew what they were doing. They were creating a class of voters dependent on them and their policies.
I'll remind you of this the same play also happened in education and healthcare. Colleges and hospitals were originally all started as Christian institutions.
This is the playbook.
Touche'
There are also Rescue Missions and Food Banks.
"Rescue mission" = Christian (what do you think rescue means in that context? It's from the 19th century Evangelical revival) and almost all of them will have a statement of faith on their websites.
That clearly falls under the "Church" umbrella.
Also the majority of food banks are religious organizations which also falls under the umbrella of the church.
Not sure what point you're trying to make here.
Our Rescue Mission here does have religious values.. they want people to stop doing drugs while using their services, offer Bible study, etc. But they are independent of any particular Denomination, iirc.
Our Food Bank does distribute through Churches as well... again, not Denomination specific.
I guess my point was there were other options that didn't necessarily involve having to establish a relationship directly with a congregation to get help.
I don't know why you got upset. I agree with your post. For years, I've been saying the gov shouldn't be doing that kind of work. The churches and local groups should. It's better for people and community.
I guess I could have mentioned other groups too that may do things like food drives or Thanksgiving boxes.. idk.. like schools, Lodges, the Police Association (though they give it to the Food bank to distribute here).
