Looking for a few SECULAR good causes
The recent news about the DC Archdiocese, and the Salvation Army, have convinced me that I want to donate to secular charities this year. We are in a brutal recession, and I want to help, but I want to give money to a secular charity. I don't want a charity that'll turn around and hold the most vulnerable among us hostage in order to dictate ( Read more... ) -
