I'm not trying to make this a religious argument, but to say argue that religion and state were highly connected, thus meaning only government cares about people (or whatever your trying to get at) is a wrong concept for the most part. My point is that anyone for any reason can endeavor to do great things to help those in need. One person cannot save the entire world from poverty, but they can do a lot to help people around them. If more did that, then we wouldn't have the poverty we see around the world. |
I totally agree with this. It's jsut that your examples didn't illustrate this at all. You had institutions do all those things, and you couldn't even call the non-governmental institutions either. Not to mention that the corruption of such institutions (and their ulterior motives) certainly won't encourage him to change his views regardign charity (and hospitals and adoption agencies are not charity organsiations, and they're run by the Government, are they not?).
