When people are in dire need of assistance, as human beings, we offer assistance. Is that not the CHRISTIAN thing to do? We don't simply walk by someone ill in the street and give them a kick as we go. We call for assistance.

There is nothing i detest more than double standards. We are either a Christian country that will always come to the aid of those who TRULY need it or we are not. This is not related to our own wealth standards as those we are assisting are in a much much worse position than ourselves.
