I can't believe that people are reacting so harshly towards this.. Aid is aid. I think it's a case of "this would be useless to me in this situation, so it's useless in this situation!" here.
By definition, Christians are supposed to "peddle" their faith. Haiti is a horribly backward country with over 200,000 child slaves and half the country practicing voodoo. Something is terribly wrong there, and it's not the hurricanes or the earthquakes. They share their island with the Dominicans who are a world apart from Haitians. The Haitian society is badly broken. [:0] [:0]
The title is such a ridiculously loaded question. Let's turn the tables here.Say a scientific organisation is sending science books to Haiti. A Christian forum sees the news; posts a thread with the topic title: "You're in Haiti, starving, thirsty. Will a science book help?"Kinda missing the point of sending the aid, isn't it? Both science books & bibles would be useful to the Haitians & would no doubt be appreciated - people do what they can. If this group are doing what they can, good for them!
