I believe they are. I guess it really depends on your faith and if you believe they will. Some great groups ( I like them and I taught the Youth Group at church for awhile) are Jars of Clay, Mercy Me, Michael W. Smith, and I'm sorry, but I can't remember the name of the other groups. Some of my favorite CD's are the "Wow Contemporary Christian" CD's. They have one for each year (since they've been produced), a platnium one (with platnium songs from various artitist) and then "Wow #1 hits". All the one's I've seen are double CD's. Hope this gives you an idea and is helpful. I'm including a link that will at least let you see some of the music (contemporary Christian) and try a few out.

I work with a local Catholic Charities' in the Refugee Services department and assist many Somali clients. Our agency is constantly needing volunteers and I assume that's the way it is in all non-profits and Catholic Charities. \n\nI did a little research and found a Catholic Charities in Portland, Maine. I encourage you to contact the Volunteer Coordinator. Good luck to you and thank you for your interest!\n\nCatholic Charities Maine Refugee and Immigration Services\n250 Anderson Street, Portland ME 04101\n\nVolunteers and Donation Office: (207) 523-2721 or jbabich@ccmaine.org\n\nPS  Don't let the name fool you. You DO NOT have to be Catholic or convert to receive services or volunteer with Catholic Charities. :)

Send me your information to Brianswifey@cashette.com. I do not know if you are telling the truth or not. If you are not then they will be your cross to bear. I will do all that I can. It may not be alot, but it helps. In the meantime, try the United Way, Urban Ministries, Salvation Army. Many times these organizations provide contributions, monetary as well as food.  Prebyterian Ministries can help. Tell me what state that you are located in. If you are located on the east coast, I will speak to someone that can contact you. Keep your head up and I am praying for you as I type this. If this a scam, be warned that anything that I send will have means to track and I will not hesitate for a moment to press charges.

Interesting website, but I'm a Hindu and this website is definately just a "Christianity is wrong" website. It's concept of God is limited in its perspective and it doesn't seem to bother to look further into the vast landscape of religious, philosophical, theological, and spiritual diversity that exists. The site seems to be aimed at trying to convince Christians that what they believe is wrong (which seems very similar to how many Christians try to convert people by trying to convince them what what they believe is right). So, for me, the website wasn't of any real interest.\n\nI do have a complaint about the website. It loads its pages too slow (and I'm on DSL!). Not sure why it was moving so slow, but it took me a while to even read through the website. Whoever maintains the website should look into this or contact their host. \n\nOther than that I am sure that the website is of interest to those who would already agree with it. Otherwise I seriously doubt many Christians would take it very seriously and the website isn't speaking to people of other religions (it seems not to even acknowledge the larger more diverse concepts of God, religion, etc). \n\nThanks for sharing the website.\n\nPeace be with you.

My mother's boss's husband (that's a mouthful) who's also an old family friend just got ordained online so that he could perform his son's wedding ceremony. It's completely legit as long as you check out the site. Apparently there are some scammy type ways to be ordained online but there are some legitimate ones. I'm actually thinking about him doing my own wedding since we don't attend a specific church and have no minister of our own.

Christian Childern's Fund is legit. I get handwritten letters and photos from the family. I also have verification from them that their monetary gifts for like Christmas and birthdays and things get through to them in full without being skimmed. The monthly donation goes to the local program the kid is in to fund their daily meals, education etc., not directly into the kids hands. It is worth it. The website is www.christianchildrensfund.org

This website is not serious. At least not in the way you think. This is an elaborate parody or satire about Christianity. The person(s) responsible for the site must have strong feelings against Christianity in specific or religion in general to put out this kind of effort to ridicule people of faith. The humor is subtle on the pages I looked at and I would assume that it is throughout. Their intention is to make people believe that they really ARE Christians and to stir up anti-Christian sentiment. Yes, there are some Christians who DO believe in a lot of what is said on this site, but this site is not legitimate. Many Christians are ignorant, hateful, and frankly, stupid, but not all or even most of them. This is not the first site I have seen like this. I can say all this confidently because I have been a Christian for 23 years and I can tell the difference between a wacko Christian and a well constructed mockery.\n\nOkay, I looked at the site some more and some of the satire is not subtle at all! This is a joke people. Whoever did this site is not a Christian.

It is a documented fact that Christians give more to charities and help those who struggle than any other group.  How many atheists or agnostic groups do you see out there sending help in the form of money or physically being there.\n\nYou are such a hypocrite.  Why don't you stop complaining about how you aren't in a financial position to help or that you wish you could go to Africa and help.  If you really care, get up off of your a$$ and do something about it.  Stop hiding behind your excuses.\n\nNo, instead you just sit up in the gallery spewing out your condemnations on the very people who are the ones doing what you don't have the guts to do.  How pathetic.

Although most charities are legitimate, there are quite a few charity scams. And you certainly don't want to give your money to scammers!\n\nHere are nine tips to ensure your money goes to worthy causes:\n\n1. Do some research on the charity. If you're trying to figure out whether or not some particular US charity is worthy of support, check out:\n\n==> http://www.give.org/reports/index.asp\n\nThey publish their standards for rating charities, and then rate over hundreds of different charities using these standards.\n\n2. Don't give to charities where most of the money goes to executive salaries, administrative costs and fundraising. The website we just recommended, Give.org, presents a pie chart that shows the percentage of money going to programs vs. administration and fundraising.\n\n3. Always find out the exact name of the charity before you send a check. Many fraudulent organizations select names that sound very similar to a legitimate charity.\n\n4. Make sure the charity is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (again, for US subscribers). Otherwise, you won't be able to deduct your contributions on income taxes.\n\n5. Never donate if the caller uses high-pressure tactics or insists you donate now.\n\n6. Always ignore phone calls, letters and emails telling you that you won money or a prize from a charity, unless you specifically entered a contest. These are almost always fraudulent.\n\n7. Avoid charities that won't send you written material before you donate because it's 'too costly.' If an organization has something to hide, it's very likely fraudulent.\n\n8. Don't give cash donations, especially to door-to-door solicitors. If you know the charity and want to contribute, never write a check made out to 'cash.' Always make sure the check is payable to the full name of the charity -- that way it can be cancelled if you suspect fraud.\n\n9. Never give your credit card number to door-to-door solicitors, or in response to a bulk email. In fact, don't give your credit card number unless you are completely confident about the authenticity and good intentions of the charity. Otherwise, you may find yourself the victim of credit card fraud -- or even worse -- identity fraud.

Might be yes, might by no. Some answer is given along with the source where it is found. So it is legitimate or not, it's for you to judge. \nTo me, these answers in here is more like a guide.

Beware of those that only call themselves christian. I looked at a few before. Many are not at all....only make the claim to reach new customers. Very high rates!
