"I don't think there's anything wrong with making someone who is down and out a little more comfortable on a cold night. "
They are down and out because they are drunks. You are part of their problem. But hey, whatever helps you alleviate the guilt of being a productive member of society and earning what you have.
If you want to help folks go to a soup kitchen. Tutor them at a center. Give money to a halfway house or open up your spare bedroom. Don't give alcoholics booze when all of their problems stem from booze. I do the tutoring one myself when i have free time.
As for being an old style Methodist. I'm sure you can figure out where to stick your ad hominem.
