Awful. Truly awful.

A cancer charity has refused a donation from Jerry Springer - The Opera after a religious group threatened to protest
When you believe in an after life with rewards for your actions, you can do anything to get your way! "We do it not for ourselves but for the afterlife and the awesome rewards!"
I like the part about how the christian group immediatly made up for the loss donation to the foundation, by donating a matching fund.NO WAIT THEY DIDN'T DO THAT, THEY JUST BLOCKED A DONATION THAT'S ALL. So they could make their little backdoor stance at the expense of a charity
This has to be the sneakiest and most underhanded thing I have seen christians do in some time. Protest a show you don't like because it deals with God in a way you can't handle. When that fails, prove how tough you are by threatening a cancer charity that needs donations to survive.
What's next on the religion radar, protesting make a wish foundation and orphanages.
I am also pissed that this stupid cancer charity bowed down and crumbled to the christian pressure. You just don't cave into a mob attack like, especially just for taking a donation. Fucking disturbing to say the least.

that really is stupid, actually its pretty damn sick. That money could have been used to help the sick, instead these isiots knock it back for 'morals', yeah, letting people die is really moral.
Couldn't they just forgive the cancer charity for taking the money; instead of protesting them for taking it?

Bloody hell. You know what I think? I think that is anyone dies from cancer from now on, Christian Voice should be charged with murder.
Isn't deliberately allowing people to die murder?

Jerry Springer - The Opera ..
Rejecting £3,000?
Give me a break. You can't even afford a chemo patients after-wig with £3,000.
It was obviously a joke, something to prod morals and stir up tension.
How you guys are taking this seriously is beyond me. £3,000. £3,000. Three thousand mesely euros.
How many lives were going to be saved, honestly?
And you think it's somehow acceptable because it's a small amount?
It would have been better overall if that charity had recieved the money.
Fine then, don't press charges if someone cuts off your ears. You didn't die after all, what have you got to complain about?

My point is that it was obviously a joke.
How much does the Jerry Springer Opera truly care about cancer victims?
In fact, they were making a mockery of it. The Christian whatever didn't call their bluff, they got away with it.
Where is the news that the Springer Opera turned around and donated that very same money to a real cancer society, where it would have gone directly to a cancer fund.
The contradiction in all of this: The Jerry Springer Opera - who makes top dollar from gauging the public with their ticket sales - knew that this was a joke.
I thought religion must be abolished anyhow, I would think the hoopla would be over the fact that they did not accept the money.
You know, the Christians probably wouldn't have spent the money on cancer victims anyway. Surely they would have put that money towards concocting jesus memorablia to sell at Walmart.
Am I right?
The cancer charity was a secular charity. The Christian Voice strong-armed Maggie's Centres (The name of the charity) into refusing the money.
A donation is a donation. By allowing Christian Voice, (Google them and visit their website to see what they're about) a fundamentalist organisation to pull off this little stunt, it legitamises this bunch of jesus freaks and their anti-freedom actions.
And legitimacy is far from what these bible-whackers deserve.

I am going to help you out here, Individual...
Say you need to raise 10,000 Euro's for something (I being a stupid American, really have no clue how much a Euro is worth because George Bush decided we students dont need to know that). If you get a donation of 3,000 Euro's, that would mean you only had 7,000 Euros to go before you got to your required amount! Its a concept I call "Every donation counts". Wait... I forgot. I am not supposed to believe in helping people because I am a supporter of Communism and I hate people and freedom.

Let me explain something to you ..
The exchange rate of USD into EUR..
One (1) US dollar is equal to 0.772559 EUR, currently.
0.772559 EUR = 1 USD
Got it?
3,000 EUR = 3,883.19 USD
$3,883.19
Is $3,883.19 enough money worth justifying? We are talking cancer here.
It is not that Jerry Springer (the production based on ill-humor) was trying to give to cancer victims, religious cancer victims at that.
The fact is that the Jerry Springer organization is making a mockery out of cancer patients by making such a gester.
Honestly, where is the news that the Jerry Springer Opera, so hell-bent on giving to victims in need, diverted that money to a willing cancer organization.
Why don't you hear that news? Because it didn't happen.
Ohh, they care so much about cancer victims.
The funniest part about it: all of your reactions. Taking something that is blatantaly a mockery, and mis-interpretting it so bad that you actually feel bad over it.
It was a joke, all of you eat this shit up, and you were busted about it.
