I'll tell you then. Ours is good. He's not in business and his contributions aren't about business. He had nothing to do with citizens united. Theirs did. They're in business, their contributions changed after Citizens United.

You're very welcome.

I do know several very devout Christians who give a significant percentage of their income to worthwhile charities, and others who have no money to spare who donate their time as volunteers, but they are the exceptions.

One of my uncles is a retired fundamentalist minister, and he has never been known to give a penny to anyone outside his own church or his own children, yet he firmly believes he is a good Christian and "saved". He is such a miser that he doesn't even offer guests coffee when they visit, but he likes to drop in to other people's houses just before meal times and be invited to eat, and then he saves the price of a meal.

God, I hate misers. They really seem to think they can take it with them. It must be very frustrating for them when they get old and sick and are dying, and they realize that they can't, and that it won't buy them immortality.
