re: #319 Vicious Babushka

Bryan has said that church soup kitchens should replace the SNAP program, that way guys like him can dole out the gruel and slut-shame the unmarried mothers with their little bastards.

Despite the fantasy land Bryan lives in, the reality is that many churches are unable or (if you can believe it) unwilling to provide such assistance. My MIL needed help paying her light bill during the winter in Pennsylvania. She went to a number of churches and not one would offer her any help.

In addition, many church outreaches and charitable efforts are stretched thin because of the increased need since the recession. At the church I go to, we haven’t been able to keep our food pantry even close to full because the need is so high.

Churches just don’t have the resources government does.
