Really? Argument from charity? People give money to charitable causes, even atheists, therefore god. Ok, so now the principle has been set out, does the opposite also apply - there are people who do/can not donate to charity, even religious ones, therefore no god?
So far I am unconvinced. Convince me.
Actually on further inspection I see that our friend is using the argument from superior charity: Mr X gave more money to charity than Mr Y; Mr X is religious where Mr Y is not; therefore god. Somehow I am even less convinced, especially as the amounts described are measured in billions (even American ones); with that sort of money going spare, what's a couple of billion between friends? I applaud our friend for bringing something fresh to the table though, however silly it may be.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
