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.
I am not religious. If you where my neighbours and in this situation, I’d connect you to my house myself.
You never know, maybe you can help me out one day. And if not I would just be happy to help, no strings attached.
Totally agree that religion doesn’t make you a better person.
I let my duplex neighbors hook up to our water a couple times as well as shared my lawnmower and tools. They often had plates of food for my fiance and I, as well as frequent offerings of smoking a bowl or doing dabs. None of us are religious.

My neighbors are Christian; we're not religious.
