The "rewarding in itself" part. Does it mean rewarding as a secular humanist would understand it, that is, it simply feels good to help someone and it feels good because god makes us feel good? Previously I did not consider the "god making us feel good" part.

Ignoring the tu quoque nature of the first sentence, I admit that it might very well be a reading comprehension fail on my part. But I can't be sure unless I know which sentence or clauses (and by whom) you're referring to. Can you quote the sentence and let me know which clauses I butchered just so I can improve my English grammar (and I'm not being sarcastic here)?

Fortunately, I'm not going to lose any sleep over that.

I don't really know the rules of compound clauses in English. But I'm curious as to how much you know about my native tongue for that level of certainty (on your part) to be justified.
