Typical lib mindset. Money = caring.
Which cares the most?
The one who dropped in a note that said, ‘Get a job!’
I’d have given him some advice.
How does he correct for stratum sizes?
If 95% of the passersby are atheists, then the atheist jar is likely to have the most.

My grandfather, a devout Catholic, was an engineer on the NYC RR. Each day when he pulled the train into Grand Central Station, he would drop a few coins in the basket held by a nun. On one occasion, the train arrived late and he saw the nun walking out of the terminal. He followed her and was taken aback to discover her climbing into the rear of a limousine, as she pulled off her veil. Turns out, she was a man feigning as a woman religious. He was quite bitter over having been tricked in such a manner.
He is lucky he isn’t a Seihk. They would clean him up, sober him up, and give him a JOB! If he wanted it or not!
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.
Get off the sidewalk you lazy bum and get a job.
True charity is not twisted into a contest, run by those who’d benefit from that charity.
If I do give the recipient will know there's no other reason.
They are paying him to be homeless? That doesn’t sound very Christian.
Religion does not give anything.
This “experiment” is a crock of excrement and means nothing, it is a scam.
A local news channel did a report which showed the people asking for money on sidewalks weren’t homeless and took in hundreds per week.
This guy looks well groomed and healthy. It looks like a stunt.
“What is “good” to an atheist? I never know how they come upon their definition. So many simply seem to adopt so much from Christianity in defining good.”
It’s funny, I just read this from an atheist artist yesterday, talking about his influences:
“and perhaps most significantly and despite my staunch atheism, these three words:
Do unto others...
Jesus stole that line I bet.”
So, even when they adopt what they recognize as good from Christian morality, they do it begrudgingly, and seek to avoid giving credit if they can find a way.
Anybody who gives out money/anything to those who do not work for it(includes majority of the so-called charities) are IDIOTS and deserve to have their money parted.
If I see a homeless, the chances are that the homeless is in such situation because of his own actions. Get off the streets you lazy bum!
No wonder the man is homeless he doesn’t undertsand sampling bias and size when it comes to performing an accurate survey.
Kinda preferred the homeless guy whose sign said, “Bet you can’t hit my nose with a quarter.”
Well, maybe it is a measure of who gives for credit, but it strikes me there are a host of flavors of Christianity, and only one of Atheism. So did he add the Catholics and Protestants together and check the balance against the Muslims and Jews and Zoroastrians and Wiccans, or did he break down every little Christian group?
I give money to charities. I never give money to panhandlers. Enabling sin isn’t a christian virtue.
