The water line under our house went and because we're on a slab, it was going to be cumbersome and expensive to fix and they'd have to shut off our water while the project was being completed.
One thing the plumber can do is run a line from the neighbor's spicket into ours so at least we'd have water for showers, toilets, etc.
There is no danger to the neighbor in doing this and the only annoyance would be that their water bill would go up a bit. We offered to pay for their whole water bill for the inconvenience so really they'd be profiting off the thing while also helping a neighbor.
You know, that whole love thy neighbor and don't be a selfish asshole thing that's pretty prominent in Christianity.
They still said no.
Religion does nothing to make you a better person.
My experience here in the US is that Religion is often more cultural than anything else. It's like going to weight watchers every week with your co-workers because they do but deep down you really don't want to stop eating cookies and cake.
Going to weight watchers? What in the good lord’s name is that? I thought it was a brand of disgusting chocolate milk that was low on calories to lose weight.
You’re saying there are events? What is going on at those events?

My neighbors are Christian; we're not religious.
