It is good to do the duties of a Christian.Many Christians are worshipping the Mammon.And the bible said no one can serve two masters.
-
Charity organisations such as Red Cross and Salvation Army are scams.Donating to them is feeding the fat cats.Those CEOs are earning top salaries.

Salvation Army is a fake Christian organisation.It promotes Lordship Salvation which is a false Christian doctrine.

regardless of whether the Lordship salvation is true or not, at least they are set in helping others as part of their belief. would you rather they open a megachurch and cheating the parishioners millions of dollars?
afterall, in Mark 9:38-42, it is said:
"'Teacher,' said John, 'we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he wasn't one of us.' 'Do not stop him,' Jesus said, 'No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us. I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward. And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.'"
even if their ideas are flawed, is it wrong to draw people to the Christian cause through their actions?
and they have helped the less fortunate. what have you done recently to help others on a large scale?
goodness gracious, why is an atheist (me =P ) advocating for the beliefs of a religious organisation.
-
Do you know that people are turning away from Christianity because of lordship salvation?Because lordship salvation requires people to give up their sins.
-
why god created a world where children suffers? not only that, even the adults suffer immeasurably.
-
why I need to hear people fighting here?
I only need to know where I can donate for children.
Christian or not, it doesn't matter. the point is helping the unfortunate people. hmm....
funny huh..?

/facepalm
okay, for let's go about this again.
1st. you have ABSOLUTELY no proof that the lordship salvation is a false Christian doctrine. every single church denomination out there is criticized, from the Catholic Church (one of the oldest denominations out there) to the 7D adventist. so regardless of where you belong to, how do you know that yours is right?
2nd. you are ignoring what salvation army has done and go around criticizing them.
3rd. you are posting baseless accusations of their employees and beliefs.
4th. giving up your sins and try to be as sinless as possible is wrong, why? is it wrong to try to aspire to become one everyone else can look forward to? or do you belong to a church where you believe you can go around sinning and expect to enter the gates of heaven as well? if people are turned away from not sinning, the problem is not with lordship salvation.
5th. scroll up, and rebut my sentences line by line. right now, you are probably appearing to everyone as if you have a bag of fortune cookies next to you. post next message? okay! pull out next fortune cookie... "Confucius says: Corn in, corn out."

The LARGE numbers of fights and quarrels among christians, is one of the reason why I no longer believe in christianity.
Anyway, to answer your question, here is a charitable organisation you can consider.
http://www.compassion.com/child-development/charitable-organizations/default.htm
Here is a link to an organisation that will check for you the integrity of charity organisations:

Here is a link to the list of accredited charity organisation by a third party institution:

Search for your donation for children among the list of accredited charities above. They are reliable charities.

oo... haha, yea, sorry about that. hope you would find an organisation you would like to donate to. hope you would donate to saving animals too.

I don't really trust charity organisation. Last week, somebody asked me to donate to the hungry children in Africa through an organisation in Hong Kong, I donated a small amount of money. My brother went to Thailand personally to donate directly to the poor there , I contributed a bigger amount of money. Nowadays, I prefer to donate to the individual beggar than to a charity organisation.

The reason I dun believe in christianity or any god religion is this, the concept of god was invented and created by men. does it exists in the first place is debatable since time immemorial.

christians will say their god and one and only. judaism will say likewise, so is Islam and Hindus.
so you see, how can there be so many god religions out there professing to be true? besides the explanations to explain the world are not only incoherent but borders on the absurdity.

Well, I do not know whether you accept this explanation which I got it from Buddhism. Buddha said there are many levels of heaven and many levels of hell. Those gods from other religion exist and I believe too because I have seen their followers' prayers do come true, although not always. However, there is no creator. There are six paths in rebirth : gods, humans, "a xiu lor" (fighters, don't know what is it called in English).
ghosts, animals, and hell. These rebirths are painful because of the senses they have. The ultimate aim of every buddhist is to get out of this rebirth cycle. -

i do not understand the buddhist way of thinking regarding death either, as it seems one blames one's past life for one's current life's bad karma. doing good so that one can have a better next life, while has good actions, does seem to have selfish intentions.

Buddhists who do not listen to teachings will think that by doing good deeds without good thoughts will attain good fortune in this or next life. Those who really listen and follow the teachings will know that doing good deeds sincerely for the sake of others is the main teachings of Buddha. There is a Buddhist story about an Emperor (If I am not wrong was Emperor Lian Wu Di) who had done a lot of good deeds. One day, he encountered a high monk and he asked the high monk how much credits he had accumulated. The high monk told him none because he did the good deeds with the thoughts of credits in his mind. This story was told over and over again during Dharma talks by monks in the temples to remind followers what is actually good deeds. In fact, Buddha was called the englightened one because He is the first who fully understand the law of nature (karma). He was not the one who created the law of nature and he was also subjected to karma before his englightenment. That is why we called him Teacher because he taught us what he knew. One can benefit by following his teachings without praying to him as this is the law of natue, not Buddha's law.

sorry, enlightenment not englightenment, spell wrongly

Which is nonsense actually. How can something have a different qualitive value each time it is measured? -

Don't understand what you mean. Anyway, nonsense or not is up to individual.
