I do not like churches doing work- because they inevitably try to rope people in with their work. It is such totally self interested work that I do not find it very compassionate. But that is just me. I see a black robe, I run the other direction. As for compassion- I can only judge by the conservatives I know- and they suck. They don't know I think they suck, but they suck anyway. There may be some I don't know that don't suck, but I dont' know them- so I really can't say.

I know you- but you aren't REALLY a conservative.

And I've been involved with people in the peace corps, and habitat for humanity, and many other grass roots organizations about helping people- and (honestly) the people there are fairly far to the left. I am sure in the church there are people helping that are far to the right- but I don't see them as helping, so they are part of the problem, not the solution, from my perspective.
