Mt. Soledad cross ordered to be taken down

At least we help whatever you perceive the reason why, you shouldn't weep, at least the believers of this world do something about those who are in need. Of course you could be weeping for yourself because you stand around doing nothing.

*sigh* So when I make donations of (literally blood) and cash it's nothing? How about volunteering time, is that  nothing too?  I admit the charities I support aren't atheist,  just secular.  Must I find one doing work in the name of atheism for it to count?

Agreed. Charity in the name of anything other than charity has an unsavory ego-attachment involved. If your concern is about ticking a box for the afterlife, how sincere is it?

I don't need a deity to tell me to help my fellow human in order to reach out. I do it, because, well, empathy drives me to it.

But hey, if it takes religion to make GC and others donate time, goods, and money to help their fellow humans, at least we know religion is good for something.

Whether that good is outweighed by the evil it presents to humankind is another question.
