Seriously Evangelicals?

I read an article how a volunteer of Samaritans Purse, and organization run by Franklin Graham, was released from her duties because she was "unsuitable" for the organization.  She was there 17 years.  Samaritans Purse provides international relief, including sending out shoeboxes filled with christmas gifts to children around the world.  They are an Evangelical Christian organization.

Why was she unsuitable?  Because she wouldn't sign a document that says she believes gay marriage isn't right and women shouldn't have the right to an abortion.  Not because she supports those things, but because she didn't feel she had the right to say to another what they can and can't do.  So the fired her from her volunteer position.

What does SP really care about?  Feeding hungry people or something else?  Hard to tell.  They deny someone a chance to volunteer to care for the least of these because they wouldn't sign a document promoting discrimination.  Sounds like something Jesus would do.

This infuriates me.  How do you respond?  Because the volunteer can't lash out.  This would take food and care out of hungry children's mouths.   You don't really want to support SP because of how they treat certain sects of other people.

This happened with World Vision a few years ago.  Only opposite. They opened up their doors of employment to anyone.  Including those living alternative lifestyles.  And what happened?  Millions of dollars were lost in child sponsorship money from "christians".  Christians that seemed to care more about homosexual lifestyle than children that otherwise wouldn't get an education or food.

I'm sorry...that's no christianity.  AT. ALL.  What's important to you?  Are you giving just to put on some sort of facade?  Look at me..I give to this organization.  Does it have anything to do with the needs of children around the world?  Your actions and withdrawal based on a an open and welcoming employment opportunity tell me you don't.

So what does World Vision do? Do they discriminate or continue to feel as many hungry children who would most likely die otherwise do?  I think their decision to open their doors to anyone shows where their heart is.  But to make a decision between the two?  That would be tough. And I don't blame them for either one the made.

Can you imagine a child opening up their gift box on Christmas from Samaritans Purse and pausing, asking if the box was packed by a homosexual?  And if the answer was yes, they'd push it aside?  Can you imagine a child sitting down to a meal and education and asking, was this check that paid for all of this cashed by a transwoman?  If so, I can't accept it.  How ridiculous is that?  Seriously?

That's all for today.  If you are reading this and have no skin in the game. But have a desire to help hurting, hungry, wounded children in parts of the world.  I can point you to a few quality organizations that could use the funds immediately. And they will be appreciated.
