question so if its made that theres no religious hotlines why stop there maybe not having any hotlines manned by any democrats, or republicans, or blacks or whites or any other controversial side?

my point is when we call a hot line its just a hodge podge of people on the other end...it could be someone who believes abortion is wrong or they may believe that blacks or whites should be the only race or even suicide is wrong...

we dont get to choose the type of person that is on the other end of the line nor that persons beliefs. All we get to choose is whether we pick up the phone and call the hotlines...

now if someone on a hotline had asked me do you know who you are talking to, (and it has happened to me) I say right back no I dont how about you introduce yourself and your location since you feel I should know who you are..that throws them off and some actually have introduced their self, I write it down and report the person to their supervisor for letting their personal views interfere with helping someone in need.
Thanks for this!
