But, as an FYI.... the UK is 4th on the list of foreign aid givers. The US is #1 with the next closest country, Japan, giving less than 1/2 of the US's total amount of foreign aid. Sure it may not compare to the overall GDP of the US, but quite frankly, a US dollar that is part of .16% GDP buys the same amount as a dollar that is part of .85%

Not to derail.... but I understand the point Rosie and the European's are making. Yes, we give the most $$$ in the world. But we don't give a large % of what we make. If you do your biblical research, it's not about how much you give, it's about how much you give relative to how much you could afford to give. Since we claim to be a Christian based nation, I don't see how we can take some Christian ideals but not all of them.

I agree... but, since the Government is not an individual and has no prospect of an afterlife, it's really a non-issue. Leave it in the hands of the churches and private orgs where it belongs... then that standard fully applies.

How do you know governmetns don't have a soul?

Governments do often take on a life of their own
