Religious charities take note

[mdlbear]

I am not a particularly religious person. Given a choice between a charity associated with a church with which I have no association whatever, and a non-secular one performing the same function, I'll take the non-secular one every time.

Enclosing a necklace with a crucifix attached is not going to improve your chances. Quite the contrary -- it makes me wonder what else you might be planning to waste my money on.

You mean "secular," I think...

Besides things like the necklace with a cross or crucifix on it, I've seen coins and coin-like tokens in appeals from charities.

Maybe such objects are their way of getting revenge on people who shred junk mail unopened?

I've gotten those, too, but not this year. The necklace is a new one. Maybe if I ignore them they'll go away.
