hurricane help
Pass it on; the list of "faith based" organizations from the FEMA website that may or may not actually give a helping hand to those affected by Katrina without taking a huge portion of the donations for their "missionary" work of converting the rest of us non ASP Gof fearing, Bible thumping heathens.
Notice no "fait based" Catholic, Jewish or Muslim organizations made FEMA's list. But of course that's not discrimination, now is it?
Here's the link:

the bad guys include:
Operation Blessing (Pat Robertson's charity group)
Southern Baptist Convention Disaster Relief and its International Mission
Board
Convoy of Hope (Assembly of God)
Christian Disaster Response (part of One Way Ministries, from the American
Evangelical Christian Church)
World Harvest (not the same as the food bank Second Harvest) Mission of Mercy (a Dominionist children's charity associated with a group
of Colorado Springs Dominionist churches)
World Relief (promoted by Focus on the Family and the American Family
Association)
Samaritan's Purse (Franklin Graham's charity group)
Mercy Ships (the Dominionist answer to Doctors Without Borders) Global Hope Network (another Focus of the Family group) International Foundation of Hope (associated with the Colorado Springs
Dominionist group)
Christian Emergency Network
There's more info at the link.
She says she would add to the "good groups" list the American Friends
Service Committee, which is the most visible social action organization
affiliated with the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). They can be
reached at http://www.afsc.org.
