Publicly Funded Christian Aid Group Fires Non-Christians


September 14, 2010 on Fox News
Critics point out World Vision receives $300-million dollars a year from the federal government, so, in essence, taxpayers are supporting discrimination.

"If World Vision wants to discriminate in hiring and firing based on religion, then it should not be receiving federal dollars. 25-percent of its income is from the federal government, from the public,” said Annie Laurie Gaylor with the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

  1. I "adopted a child" though World Vision for over 5 years. I got a photo, nothing else, was not aloud to try and contact him in anyway. Got no news of him ever.

  2. Correct me if I am mistaken but that clip sure sounded like a pretty straight forward news story without much expected Fox bias.  Maybe because it was a local reporter?

  3. Their advertising keeps the xian link VERY quiet. Recently a friend asked if I was aware of a non religious charity assisting in Pakistan she could help with a donation. She said that she thought world vision was not a religioious based charity. She was concerned that if she were to support a religious charity, she would be supporting that belief system and was keen not to do so. A close look at the world vision logo finds a cross carefully hidden away. I do wish that these charities would make it clear, as in this video, that their mission is to obtain more converts to their deluded misery, not help those who need assistance. Any 'help' that filters through is nothing more than a nice side effect.

  4. I think that 25% of the organizations funding coming from the government is way to much "government interference" and the World vision people should give back all the money they have taken.

  5. This is so obviously wrong that it enrages me.

  6. This is like shunning but in the workplace.  What a sordid set-up that would rather keep rigid control of what their workers believe rather than see the bigger picture of helping people - it rather makes you wonder if helping the needy is just a device that the pious use to give them a good public face and access to vulnerable people, doesn't it?  Bet that's never ever happened before in the history of sanctimonious, hypocritical piety!!

  7. Please share this video with your friends.  This is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!  The more people aware of this, the more necessary attention it will get.  No group receiving federal dollars should be allowed to fire someone based on what their 'religion' is.  If some in their ranks came out and said they were Muslim, they too could also be fired.

    That doesn't sound like a group that should be receiving federal funding.  Everything about this group is illegal once they accept dollars from the federal government.

    1st - They admit their religion is first in their charter (this is funded by the government????)
    2nd - After their religious misery meetings, then they provide charity services.  (Again, this is funded by the government???)

    Surely there is a lawyer out there that would be drooling over this case.

  8. Fox affiliates are nothing like the national Fox News channel.

  10. You have to wonder how much that statue of Jesus cost, and how much of the price came out of the pockets of taxpayers.

    I hope this case goes all the way to the Supreme Court and World Vision gets a bag of secular hammers dropped on them.
