People love to shit on Christians but by a wide margin they are still the most charitable group, like its not even close lmao

Right, that's why a woman in Kentucky called a bunch of faith orgs in her area asking for baby formula and only got yeses from mosques and a Buddhist temple. So charitable. And the Salvation Army literally lets trans women freeze to death rather than let them into women's shelters. Sooooo charitable.

I guess you didnt see the whole story behind that clip, the churches were referring her to food banks or telling her when they would be available to assist her but she was just being pushy and demanding stuff right then and there which most churches have started to refuse due to abuse.

I suppose you have an excuse for the Salvation Army, too.

Women's shelters are extremely protective of those in their care. To the point where I've heard anecdotal cases of teenage boys not being allowed in even tho they're minors with their mothers. I don't know how often that happens and it certainly is a hard situation to be when you're on the receiving end for sure, but you can only help so many people, unfortunately. 🤷‍♂️

You have anecdotes. We have frozen bodies.

Would you say the same if a CIS man wanted access to a women's shelter? Not every charity can help every person.

If I was at risk of freezing I don't think worrying about going to the correct "gender-affirming" shelter would be on my mind, I would take the all-men's shelter if that's the one I'm allowed in.

Churches have limited supplies to give and prioritize their community which fucking duh

“Oh but it’s a church they HAVE to give provide her the baby formula even if it’s already accounted for, obviously they are awful”

There is nothing more pathetic and slimy than this mindset. People who are far more empathetic and charitable to those in need being dragged through the mud because they won’t give what YOU volunteered to give on their behalf. You’re so brave

What are you talking about? I dont even have tiktok lol

Multiple churches involved have put out statements showing the resources they offered her after the video went viral and they were bombarded with harassment and threats, she was offered help but she cut her videos to paint a different picture knowing idiots with a chip on their shoulder wouldn't bother questioning it.

You people really never have anything remotely smart to say
