There is a lot of history and present action like that. It’s the mega churches that generally suck the most, and generally the wealthiest of churches. Most food banks in the US are run by Christian organizations if not directly by a church.
Here there are plenty of Christian organizations as well doing very good things, but in general the people most vocal about doing Christian things are not more about people following their rules than about doing something meaningful for people in need. Seeing the current regime embracing Christianity while also limiting food aid or killing people without a trial in international waters remind me more of the type that talk(!) about Christian values, than that it reminds me of the people who work at a food bank or a homeless shelter.
If you’re talking about Trump, that makes sense, although despite the pseudo Christian cult around him, Trump is certainly not a Christian. He doesn’t even understand Christianity which is clear from a number of his statements about it. No surprise there.
Both. First they talk about it. Then they do it. What’s your beef? Do you have personal reasons to dislike Christianity, or have you just been in the echo chamber too long?
I have no dislike of Christianity in particular, i have a problem with religion as a tool to make a distinction between us and them. I am aware I am doing it too, but I am not an institution. The point of my question, which was genuine, was to understand your comment better. It is meaner than necessary.
You’re alright! Forgive me for being defensive. I live in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania. There are several active Christian organizations around here. They are actively supporting the community with thought and deed.
I do not attend church, but I do participate in the effort. We pack and deliver boxes of food several times a year with an organization called JRA “Jewish Relief Agency”. We beautify public gardens in the spring and fall. We support youth with scouting programs and parades for the local athletics organizations.
I mean the Christian community that has provided love and support for my family.

Where what?
Were* they feeding the poor, housing the unhoused etc, or was it all talk?

It’s not all that bad.
Nice, keep up the good work!
