Are there any Christians on this post still? I know that Christianity is fleeting… Have you guys done anything to help combat adult hunger? We all know that you guys are in a brutal battle for fetal food.

I am. Yes, some of us do work to address adult hunger. There is a coalition of local churches that are providing cold weather shelter and meals to as many as 200 people a night right now. Asbury Methodist, Grace Methodist, Brentwood Christian, National Avenue Christian, Springfield Unitarian Church, Connecting Grounds Church, and a few others. Faith Voices of Southwest Missouri and the Ozarks Council of Churches do legislative work advocating for anti-poverty programs. Please let me know if you have any questions and I can try to answer them.

Not a Christian, but I will say this…the small churches around here try harder and do more for hunger than any of the several mega churches we have around here. If James River and a few other churches just donated 10% (tithe) of profits, it would house all homeless and feed all the hungry. But those churches are more concerned about politics and drag show story times, than the poor and hungry.

Lol. Hate on it all you want, but the Catholic Church is the largest charitable organization in the world.
