A lot of Christians truly believe that he wants us to stop "sinning." OK, so then who decides what a sin is? Millions upon millions of US Christians still think homosexuality and abortion are sins. Ergo, Jesus wants to stop those things. Ergo, money should go to groups working accordingly.

No real mystery here, just people motivated by their faith, which specifically cannot be contradicted by any facts, or else it wouldn't be faith.

As even believers right here on DU have told us.
