Reply #38: That's evil. [View All]

I helped out in a men's homeless shelter for a week one summer in high school, one run by the evangelical church I was in at the time. First of all, our youth leader made all of use eat there, too, which was a seriously eye-opening experience (horrible food much of the time), and secondly, we had to make the food, clean the bathrooms and all over inside, and all sorts of things. Secondly, when we ate there, we prayed to ourselves--no one made anyone pray or anything. Once a guy got his food, he could eat when he sat down. There was no crazy hymn singing first. Those guys were tired (many had jobs), and that would've been cruel.
