What does that say about the people who would condemn that good deed solely on the basis of those who perform it?

You'd rather say, screw the kids? You'd rather they get nothing as opposed to something given to them by a religious charity?

This seems monumentally wrong.

I've donated a shoebox to Operation Christmas Child since I was in grade 3. I'll continue, thanks.

So I take you it would have no problem if it was a Muslim charity handing out shoe boxes and trying to convert children to Islam? Or is that somehow different?

We could also consider the humanitarian work Hezbollah does in Lebannon. If, as you seem to suggest, that the ends (gifts and aide to children) justifies the means (in this case conversion to evangelical christianity) then presumably you couldn't "condemn that good deed solely on the basis of those who perform it".
