[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 75878890, member: 123415"] There's plenty of gripes I have with the Mormon Church on a ideological level, but "hypocrisy when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is in terms of the charity aspects of their faith" isn't one of them, they're entirely consistent in that regard. They're one of the few religious groups I see that take that aspect to heart at such a high percentage. I still remember a few years back when my dad officially entered the "ending stage" of his cancer, and could no longer do things around their house, their neighbors (a Mormon family), mowed their lawn, did their grocery shopping for them, and even recruited members of their church to help me and my brother & cousin when we were putting a new roof on their garage for them one weekend... And wouldn't accept a penny for any of it even though I tried on multiple occasions to pay them for their time and effort (I live almost an hour away from their house, so couldn't get out there on a daily basis to help with certain things). Even tried to sneak a check into a "thank you" card I mailed them, they cashed it, and gave the money to my mom. Charity and "looking out for your neighbors" is one aspect where (in my humble atheistic opinion), the Mormon Church stands head and shoulders above many other religious groups. [/QUOTE]
