This type of aid is little more than abuse. Go hungry or convert.
Forced choices are not choices at all.

Villagers furious with Christian Missionaries
Samanthapettai, Jan 16 (ANI): Rage and fury has gripped this
tsunami-hit tiny Hindu village in India's southern Tamil Nadu after a
group of Christian missionaries allegedly refused them aid for not
agreeing to follow their religion.
Samanthapettai, near the temple town of Madurai, faced near devastation
on the December 26 when massive tidal waves wiped it clean of homes and
lives.
Most of the 200 people here are homeless or displaced , battling to
rebuild lives and locating lost family members besides facing risks of
epidemic,disease and trauma.
Jubilant at seeing the relief trucks loaded with food, clothes and the
much-needed medicines the villagers, many of who have not had a square
meal in days, were shocked when the nuns asked them to convert before
distributing biscuits and water.
Heated arguments broke out as the locals forcibly tried to stop the
relief trucks from leaving. The missionaries, who rushed into their
cars on seeing television reporters and the cameras refusing to comment
on the incident and managed to leave the village.
Disappointed and shocked into disbelief the hapless villagers still
await aid.
"Many NGOs (volunteer groups) are extending help to us but there in our
village the NGO, which was till now helping us is now asking us to
follow the Christian religion. We are staunch followers of Hindu
religion and refused their request. And after that these people with
their aid materials are leaving the village without distributing that
to us," Rajni Kumar, a villager said.
The incident is an exception to concerted charity in a catastrophe that
has left no one untouched.(ANI)

It's a twisted world and will always be.
Even God condems in the bible for following Pagan religions, and Christ
only healed after preaching the "word" for eternal salvation of the
soul is more important than the short term salvation of the body.
But then even God complained about the Priests would neglected a
helpless man on the road because of principales where as a
non-believing samaritan went to the aid.
Beginning to end: all rulers want to impose laws so people obey them
and not the law, but thee ruler does not want to be ruled by the law so
he makes multiple laws and separates them far appart then makes people
guilty so they fear ojbecting to any judgement imposed by the ruler
from any law he wishes to pick from. Let him understand whom can.
One section of the bible says to divorce for other than adultery is to
commit adultery, and then a far off section later says: happy are you
to divorce for you are no longer a slave to the law but a free person
to choose you wish. Let him understand whom can....and she washed his
feet with her hair.
