That Good Old Christian Charity
Here's a moral dilemma: You are a cancer charity seeking money for a cure. Suddenly, a source comes along, offering to donate 3000 pounds. However, the donation comes in the form of proceeds from a play that uses more "fuck"s than Quentin Tarantino after stubbing his toe, and has Jesus, Mary, and God arguing with each other on a public talk show. What would Jesus do?
Why, He- or at least those who claim to speak for him- would force the charity to reject the donation by saying it would turn away "potential donors" (read: us uptight pricks). Because everyone knows that the rejection of "filth and blasphemy" trumps the possibility of people surviving a debilitating disease every day.
