How can you praise Jesus in one paragraph and then ask if Christians should only help out "believers"? Did Jesus only help those who "believed" in him. If that were the case, not many people would have been helped. People are people, no matter what their beliefs are, and as people, they deserved to be helped. I think that is how Jesus would have wanted it. Just my very humble opinion. Kevin O'Brien kobrien@u.washington.edu
