Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

What does this prove?

It proves that Christians aren't better than other people just because they're Christians.

Doubting Thomas, You and I agree.

Good, but I wish a lot of your fellow religionists (mainly the Protestant kind) would understand this.

So why then do theists claim to be morally superior if we're all basically the same?

Have you ever worked at a food bank or homeless shelter? They take a lot of people to operate. Far more than what is depicted in you meme shot. Around here i do not know of one that is not Christian run. Which means the vast majority of those who work are doing so for free.

I can tell you now the food bank in my home town is not church run
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

You're missing the whole point, Drich. When Chick-Fil-A was under fire for donating money to anti-gay causes, the conservative Christians came out in force to support them for that one day, but you never see them coming out in force to end hunger here in America. Of course, Fox News isn't telling them that they need to end hunger.

Yeah, but when did you last see a secular organization come out in force like that specifically due to petty and mean spirited bigotry? You can talk about charity all you want, but the simple fact of the matter is that there isn't a parallel secular subgroup for that kind of venomous hate.

It seems you missed the point as well.

If 'Christians' run charities, then that means they come out every day (except when they all show up at chick-fil-a)
