First off, great of you and your daughter to get involved. The world needs more people like you. But it begs the questions..are you saying you only got involved because of religion, faith and not just because it's the right thing to do? I certainly hope not. Or do you feel that those 'poor bastards' that don't believe in god must lack compassion and would just look the other way?
Not only would I get involved....I have done say many times, multiple times this year in fact with people that were struggling with addiction and suicide. I'm a super busy person, and could easily make excuses to not help people, but I still do. Not because of faith, or god...because I'm not a shithead.
