Gregory's ServerA key difference is why you do it.
If you do it to enrich yourself, cool.
Even cooler if you're already wealthy.
If you do it for socialist reasons, bad.
Even worse if you're poor because you can't call it philanthropy.

@rzeta0 @veroandi I assume this is sarcasm. Donations (not tithes) from the poor are given from the heart. They, most of all, understand poverty. (For Christians: The widow's mite.) Philanthropy from the wealthy is used to abate guilt and/or for tax breaks. If they really cared, they would pay their workers a good salary first.  Worship of the rich is just perverse. It's especially weird to hear wealth-worshippers claiming to be Christian. |
@rzeta0 @veroandi oooooh.. this is deep: "worse if you're poor because you can't call it philanthropy"
