Well, it does
One of the reasons religions are so successful is that they teach charity to those less fortunate, I'd be astonished if the man in this story wasn't very grateful to the church and its adherents, and consequently more likely to listen to their wackier stuff.

Well it does not, because no matter your colour, faith or creed you can still be a nice person or do
a good deed, society does not care generally due to overload of the system and today unfotunately, it is all about quotas and making money to please the goverment.

Sometimes it takes a human being to make a choice when faced with a problem and to reflect and decide to do what is right. I do not disagree about religion but you have to takes things on an individual basis and in context.

In the same boat I would have done similar no matter if my friends were christian, muslim, hindu, pagan, zoroastanist, jew or satanist.

It would not have bothered me a jot what they were compared to my knowledge of their character.

Most church-types tend more towards the 'Kindly Mrs Smith of the awesome coffee-morning nibbles" than "bastard lovechild of Jim Jones and David Koresh".

Are you honestly suggesting that neighbourly kindness should be abandoned, and entirely replaced with state intervention? Because that would make you a cunt. You cunt.

No, not at all
I'm suggesting that the people administering the state intervention have no right to refuse to do their job and instead refer them to a church because it is their personal belief that the church would perform better.
