“The Romneys have also given annually to their family charity, the Tyler Charitable Foundation, which, in turn, has paid out large sums to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Sabin Children’s Foundation, National Multiple Sclerosis Society and to Mitt Romney’s alma mater, Brigham Young University.”
Most of my “charitable contributions” are also directly to my church, and mostly pay the salary of my pastor, and the cost of the building we use. A portion of the money the church collects goes to missionaries, which also is a solely church-related function. A small part goes to the deacon’s fund, which does traditional charity work, but mostly for people in the church.
I don’t know whether any other people fall into this category. But I would suspect that a large amount of the donations by Catholics who are freepers go to their church as well.
So I’m not sure how much of an “attack” it is to hit someone because their giving is mostly to their church.
The hit goes back to whether the church is a valid one, and whether the church does true charity with the money. But both of those discussions have nothing to do with the members of the church giving money to the church (I’m not arguing that donations to the mormon church are more or less charitably used here).
I’m certain Romney gave more money away to secular or non-sectarian charity than I did. I know, he has more money.
As I stated, "And their generosity is nearly always toward their sect and to other mormons."
Now, unless you were, as I was, born into mormonism, lived for several years in communities heavily populated and controlled by mormons, you won't have seen first-hand that what I stated is true.
So, save your indignation and support for Mitt for the next time he begins his campaign for POTUS.
NOW you've done it!
A mormon will now state - proudly - that THEIR 'preachers' receive NO money for what they do...
And perhaps state that 'christian' preachers are hirelings of SATAN!
Well; a lot of MORMONism's followers manage to 'attack' any religion that pays a preacher.
It may be a teaching of the LDS religious organization based in Salt Lake City as well; I am not sure.
