Reply to comment by VaderTower in Are there any secular organizations in this town that help the unhoused? by wildweasel29

You’re right that oftentimes it’s a matter of “Who knows?” But in this case it seems pretty clear to me. OP asked the equivalent of, “Do you know what time it is?” And ozarkian_tritep responded with, “Time to get a watch.”

The OP lightly brushes off that shit answer, but you take it seriously with meaningless and unhelpful advice. Time, effort, and passion obviously do not always lead to success, and that is certainly unhelpful advice in this scenario where the OP probably is looking for an answer immediately since it’s COLD out there tonight and they need a place to stay. Keep your chin up, reach for the stars, never give up, and all your dreams will come true, unless that dream is not freezing to death tonight.

I don’t say all this to be a dick, but I’d put money that’s why there were downvotes.

Meaningless and unhelpful advice?

OP said "if only it were that easy", my comment is about inspiring to actually make the change they want to see.

To your point if OP is looking for somewhere warm tonight I don't think they would be focused on religious v secular, but anything warm. My assumption was OP is looking for a good cause to support and/or volunteer. If I'm wrong and you're right, your comment is entirely valid. But I haven't seen any responses from OP except the one I responded to that we're discussing.
