    Yes, never apologise or in any way back down to people who call you racist, Nazi, bigot etc.
    Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

      Yeah, I have often wondered about that too when Christians on tweb want to know who I make donations to. Not their business.

        You probably get asked that when you accuse us of not supporting pregnant women, etc.

        You know, if we don't support abortions then we obviously do nothing to help pregnant women with their pregnancies, etc.

          Because if someone is making donations to a group you disagree with, that's a plausible reason to not want to give them money that can end up donated to those groups.

          Sort of like how when people object to their tax money going to things they don't like.

            I get that, because I just went through a situation where I decided to stop supporting an organization. NOT because of who that organization donates to but the ideology of that organization. If people don't want to support, say, the SA because they allegedly don't help certain groups of people (which I believe is patently false) then stop supporting them. You don't have to announce it to the world. Nobody would know that CFA donates to SA if they hadn't announced it to the world. Did you know they did that before this news story broke?

            If people don't want to buy from CFA because of their ideology, then they don't have to. They don't have to announce it to the world.

              That is quite a statement to make and with no support at all. I am against abortion myself so...

                The "you" in my comment was a general "you" and not specifically directed at you, except that I was responding to your pretty much general statement about Christians here wanting to know to whom you make donations. Quite a statement to make with no support at all and I don't think I've ever asked you to whom you make donations.

                      Never claimed you did, as in you, Mossrose, not "you" in general.

                      Others have done so, CP who amened your post, is among them.
