That&#039;s a good question.  I am a Christian, and the truth is that many Christians DO help.  The church I financially support provides Thanksgiving meal baskets every year to low-income families, and also provides a free summer day camp to needy children in the area.  The church also provides homeless people with access to showers and medical/dental care.  The church also remotely supports teachers and school facilities in Africa.  It is a church with members of many different races who come together to worship Jesus Christ.  Unfortunately, many other churches have lost their way.]]></description>

I am not a church; I am just one Christian.  But since believing in Jesus Christ and asking Him to be my savior, I have endeavored to devote my life to help others and spread the gospel of Christ. I am not perfect and I have a continual battle with sin, but I have given away a lot of my own resources to help people.   I have also found many Christian churches to be inward-focused and not care about the outside community. 
These churches are also overly-focused on getting money from the attendees/church members.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am curious to know how many people who are in need and struggling this past year or two and have gone to the Church for help to only be told &quot;Go and be filled the Lord will Provide&quot; with a jolly good ole pat on the back and a shiny peerly white toothy grinned smile. While Good ole preacher man is wailing and prayin and preachin up a storm on how the church needs more money.]]></description>

Another thing I have noticed in the past couple of months is that Patheos has started taking advertising from Gab, a social network that serves white supremacists and anti-Semites.  With slogans in the ads like &quot;Make America one nation under God again&quot; and &quot;Kick God out of social media? Not here&quot;.

Gab ads show up for me maybe 50% of the time on the 2 blogs under Patheos Evangelical that I still read; I don&#039;t know if other parts of Patheos are also infected.
While I don&#039;t know much about how ad networks function, the fact that these ads continue to show up after many times closing them and clicking &quot;Stop seeing this ad&quot; suggests that they don&#039;t have much in the way of less sleazy advertisers to show me.]]></description>
