ie. Donating directly to research for curing certain (ANY) diseases or disorders, donating to centers to help fight worldwide hunger or look after refugees, etc...
Seems to me that if Jesus is what people claim he is, he would rather you help needy people or fund the help of needy people if you have the time or money to fund
( http://www.gocitykids.com/browse/attraction.jsp?id=168024 ) new full-sized gymnasium basketball courts
( http://www.churchmarketingsucks.com/archives/2006/02/community_swimm.html ) swimming pools
( http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,110240,00.html ) multi-billion dollar megachurches
( http://www.bygodsmiracle.com/d.cgi/rr1005/home.html ) or billion-dollar raffles.
Certainly, I would personally like to see this type of money better spent. If you want to go to a basketball court there are plenty. Make a sacrifice (like Jesus?) and go across town. But this religious spending is ridiculous and not in the name of any God.
