The article never states that the people were not receiving water, they were just not getting this particular water. Believe me if they were doing without water, the press would be screaming it from the mountain tops.
The Red Cross is also handing out condoms in the relief effort. Do you think that the SB should pass them out also?
The SBC is the third largest privately funded relief organization in the world. They do a lot of good for a lot of people. If they want to do it their way, it is their money and it is their business. They should not be criticized for not wanting to advertise for anyone they do not wish to advertise for or be associated with a product that is contrary to their beliefs.
No.
But your analogy is incorrect.
If the analog to the condom is beer, please be aware that no beer was provided and no one was expected to hand out beer.
I think they refuse to work with Catholics too.
Budweiser has bottling facilities. They can bottle (can) water as well as beer. This costs money. They also lose money because they lose the production of beer the line would have made. If they put their name on it, they can at least write it off. I think it's a friendly corporate thing to do. It's the right thing to do.
Somebody joked about RJR putting meds in cigarettes, but a few years ago Phillip Morris made commercials showing their Miller Beer division bottling and passing out water to storm victims, so this is nothing new.
I don't know what to say about the SBC but sometimes they seem to almost go out of their way to offend people that aren't part of their cult, I mean sect.
