The difference between religion and others

[EnglishLearner]

Hello,
I have come to conclusion that most charities are supported by religious groups and institutions to rescue the people from the terrible modern troubles that created by capitalism and communism policies.

Religion 1 - others 0

So what do we do, go back to agrarian societies.
Leave technology behind.
Go back to a simpler time when there were very few organised institutions?
Lets just live as a tribe in the wilderness?

Im curious how one can think that charities are not for profit organisations.
They always want to expand thier reach to help more people.
To do so they have to make a year on year profit.

Now do you replace that with government help for people who need support.
In that case you have to tax everyone else to help those who are in need.

Perhaps one should just create more jobs, then there would be less people in need.
Yeah but for that to happen one needs more employers who actually produce something, not just provide a service.
Or create government jobs which cost more than the tax they pay.

So, how does one fix that problem of not enough jobs for people because all manufacturing is now done abroad.
Well how about we set up a charity to help those people affected because they lost thier jobs and became homeless due to the off shoring of jobs.
The government will help out with charities, we can employ people to help.

So, in reality, one creates a charity to help those the government put out of work by off shoring production.
Paid for by the government, through the tax payer.

Which means for every job thats off shored, you are :-
1. losing a tax payer for every job off shored.
2. Asking folks to donate to charity to support the people you made out of work.
3. Getting government grants, which is taxpayer money, to support these charities.

Can someone explain the logic to me, please?

You have read so many points, you can text me to discuss that if you like.

But we don’t have to give things up only because we do follow a religion!

Religion is based on belief just as much as government or charitable organisations, they all want money.

You "Donate" to your church.
How is that any different from paying money to a charity.

The main difference is that religion is dieing off due to tax payers becoming atheistic, whereas charities get help from the government when it suits thier purpose, with the same money the church would have taken if religion was still a driving force.

The best lesson Government learned was to take from religion thier power, to bring all those who gave money to the church, under thier wing and accept that money back into the coffers.

Plus it did away with the pesky idea that government might actually be full of a**h**** which the church did like to point out from the pulpit.

It is true that many religions are out for money. Money is a tool, so it is necessary in this system regardless of the motive of the person. Still, not all religions are out to get money. Some will do just fine when they're not receiving money, as the teachings are on the heart. But while time allows it, money does help with certain things. I mean, we can't even drop off a load of food without licences, permits, fuel and transport costs, even if every single human doing the work volunteered.

as religions are all msn made and charities are commercial so make monies that dont go all to the people that needs it
