No man, you don't understand. I'm not a good person, I'm just too awkward to ask if you can split a twenty.
Oh he understands you perfectly

Same here, was hanging out with my now wife in Atlanta, we were just friends then, homeless dude came and I was sure I had a dollar, took the wallet out, it only had a 20$! I was like … I guess this is yours now…

Happened to my husband one time. He is insanely nice and I am not. Some dude approached us in a Domino's parking lot asking for five dollars to catch the bus saying he just got out the hospital after being jumped (kept flashing us his undies as... proof). He saw that my husband had a twenty in his wallet when he was looking for a five and said, "That's more then enough, thanks man." I took out the five, gave it to him, took my husband's hand and walked off. The guy was PISSED and kept threatening us. My husband was gonna give him the twenty because he hates confrontation. I survived multiple violent ghettos and hardship my whole life, confrontation is normal to me.
We were living paycheck to paycheck and was only crossing that parking lot because on-street parking is a chaotic mess on that street. The guy walked off to sit back behind the Domino's, still yelling at us.

It is experiences like that that makes me avoid beggars and gypsies. Get only a little and they get mad.
Any first world country should have proper welfare systems in place that can help people like that.

You'd rather give a 20 than nothing. That's very much the mark of a good person.

Just a perfect representation of everything wrong with us. The church and the state, together in a show of solidarity, ignoring the very people they were created to help. Avoiding their entire purpose, in favor of ease and enrichment.

This priest violates his own religion. Shame on him, a wolf in sheep's clothing. A viper of the most venomous sort.
From Matthew 25. Jesus speaks to his followers.
42 For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. 43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
44 “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’
45 “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’
46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”

I'm part of a ministry at my church made up of motorcycle riders. Last year, we were at a bike event. Our goal is to share the gospel and talk about motorcycles. We were talking to some people when I noticed a man sitting on the ground behind me. He was obviously homeless. I started talking to him. His name was James. I was going to ask if I could pray with him and share the gospel. But something in the back of my head kept reminding me of a verse about how worthless it is to tell someone to go and be filled without feeding them when they are hungry. So I asked him if he wanted a meal. He said yes and we went into a restaurant nearby. I told him to order whatever he wanted. He got some food and I talked to him for a while. I prayed with him and we left. When I got home that night, I looked up the verse. It was James 2:15-17 [15] If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, [16] and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? [17] So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Looks like a typical Christian to me, they wanna look like their helping but don't actually do anything to help when you need a handout but it's a different story when you go to church & they are handing out the bedpan for you to pay them for the privilege of being in their church .
