Here's an interesting fact for you,
The single largest drop in church attendance occurred in Europe after state sponsored welfare was imposed. Throughout most of history people have had no choice but to turn to the churches for help in times of need, of course this is no accident and not because of any special caring on the part of the religious. The motives were purely selfish as most still are today, secular or state sponsored charity not only contributes vastly larger sums of money to the poor and needy but they also do a better and more fair job distributing it.
Think of it this way, how would you feel in modern times if the only source of help came from the church? What kind of state would modern society be in?
It seems to me that it would be vastly worse than it is today.
Now back to the insane copy pasta and embeded pages.
Have fun!
