CFI: United Way, Target Should Get Nothing from Christians

Bob Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute, says the United Way has been crossed off his gift list. That is because the well-known charity refuses to share its money with the Boy Scouts of America while it openly supports numerous pro-homosexual groups with its money

CFI's director is urging individuals who are seeking out charitable giving opportunities to consider the manner in which the BSA has been treated by the United Way, and the organization's ongoing financial support of the homosexual agenda. Personally, Knight says, "I wouldn't give them a dime."

Unfortunately the United Way is not the only major U.S. organization that is drawing the pro-family leader's ire. In a recent interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network, he mentioned the recent announcement by Target that the retailer would not be allowing non-profit groups to solicit outside its stores this year. This means the familiar Salvation Army bell ringers will not be able to set up their kettles and collect donations at Target locations this shopping season.

Knight feels people of faith should be outraged over the retailer's actions. "Millions of Christians give Target millions of dollars," he says, "and what have they gotten from Target in return? A lump of coal. I think they ought to be ashamed of themselves, and I think consumers ought to take this into account when they do their Christmas shopping."

Please edit the title of the thread to copy the title of the article, not your personal take on this issue.

Thanks.

3. Perhaps secular people should quit giving to religiously based charities

Such as the Salvation Army. Maybe the religious groups who want to become de facto political movements should try paying taxes, too.

5. Interesting source you cite

Headlines from the belly of the beast, as it were.

I especially enjoyed their Homosexual Agenda section. But if I hadn't looked at their Pro-Life section, I might have missed out on the link to this darling comic strip about an unborn fetus:

Now I have to clean out my cookies and scrub my monitor.

12. The AFA link was in another article...

that was way less interesting...but once I got there it was a pretty damn SCARY webpage to look thru. Kind of like a trip over to the dark side! Apparently followers over there are also got a company to pull out of advertising for Desparate Housewives. The remote control device has yet to be invented in their neck of the woods....

Johnson & Johnson and Harry Potter are also the subject their "you're going to hell" wrath:
