A lot of people do it. Unfortunately, if they didn't do it, maybe the government would. The government contracts them to do this.
@TomSea Have you lost your freaking mind?????? If we,the taxpayers are paying those religious parasites to "tend to de poor and needy",we ARE doing it. The government has no wealth it doesn't receive from the taxpayers.
Actually,we are paying them twice. Once by not collecting taxes on their income,and the second time by giving them barrels of cash to do what they are supposed to be paying for themselves to start with.
A decade or more when Willie Brown was the mayor of SF,the Catholic Archdiocese there tried to refuse to hire homosexuals or give the ones already hired who were married the same benefits they paid to married heterosexual couples by claiming it violates their religious beliefs,which it does.. Since that Archdiocese was pulling in a little over 5 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR in state and federal grant money,having that funding source cut off was a VERY big deal. It went to court,and the court ruled they had to pay same sex marriage benefits or lose their government contracts,and suddenly they discovered it wasn't against their religious views after all!
Keep in mind this was 5 MILLION bucks in government aid more than 10 years ago in just ONE city,and to just ONE charity in that city! Who knows what the total taxpayer dollar amount would be if you could to that figure all the "free money" given to other charities in SF.
