| Message | "Charitable donations"? Firstly no one should ever rely on donations in a progressive state where the state provides. Secondly, unless we get religious organisations to be honest about what they REALLY do with the 'charitable donations', we are afraid we have to generalise and say that at least a portion of them goes to the preacher's accounts. |

| Message | There are many people who rely and depend on the services provided by the ZRM. When you attack religion you are not only attacking hte people generally but the poor specifically. "Charity" is not an insult or something someone should be ashamed of. It's a religious obligation and something all in need have a right to request. |
