I don't see you, KevinM1, doing anything in those areas, Christians braver than you.

Seeing as I've been permanently disabled since birth and require an electric wheelchair for mobility, among other things, my ability to hop on a plane and work in a poverty-stricken country is pretty limited. If you actually read my posts instead of trying (and utterly failing, as is your way) to make a snarky comeback you'd know this.

And, again, I do donate to Doctors Without Borders who are no strangers to providing aid in hostile regions.

/sarcasm on
Don't you just love it when people make baseless assumptions about others whom they've never met in real life? I mean shit, Kev, you should have least given both eyes to some poor starving child in a third world country by now.
/sarcasm off.

I appreciate the fact that you donate to DWB. Our local atheist organization donates to them regularly.

Who are you to sit in judgement, asshole? Follow the dictum of your little book. Your book tells you to "judge not lest ye be judged"; your holy book warns that "pride goeth before the fall".

I donate but don't volunteer anymore, because I work long hours. And I don't give a shit if you don't think that's sufficient.

Doctors Without Borders
The Prevent Cancer Foundation
The Jimmy Fund
Child's Play

I guess they don't count because I don't have an alterior motive.  Curse my utterly selfless desire to help my fellow man!

Oxfam is my charity of choice, I pay monthly by direct debit. I do admit I don't volunteer as others here do due to sheer laziness.

Especially when so many of the christer "charities" are there with an ulterior motive.

But, it's easy for people like GC to look down on others from that perch on his high horse.

What's really funny is that there was another thread not too long ago (a few months, IIRC), maybe started by Drich, where the same thing happened.  They ASSumed that we didn't do any volunteer work or donate to charity, and got embarrassed by the replies to the contrary.

I mean, of course Christians do more.  That's because there's more of them than us.  Boasting about the billions donated and hordes of people working in poverty-stricken countries doesn't diminish our contributions.  And that at least one, if not two (or more), Christian on here thinks it does says a hell of a lot more about them and their motivations than it does us.  Charity shouldn't be a dick waving competition.

I asked you a question dippy, how am I to know what you do if you don't say.

The Spanish executing the last Inca Emperor Atahualpa in 1533.
He was threatened with death by burning, which, in his beliefs, would prevent his soul going to the afterlife.
He was offered death by strangling if he would convert to Catholicism. He agreed, and was killed that way.

Now now, I'm sure no one would accuse atheists of being less charitable than christians without some thorough studies to use as evidence.

Let's wait and see what they say.

You mind your own backyard, you busybody. I don't care what you know or don't know about me. You tend to your own business and stop searching so obviously for reasons to judge someone else, you hypocrite.
