Quote:as if the global generosity of Christians is tainted because we do things in ways that YOU as an atheist disapprove of.

You're being generous in the same way a drug dealer who hands out free samples is generous. Christians do good because they expect the recipients to reward them with conversion. Christian charity is a pyramid scheme. Participate in charity, donate money, volunteer, when you're doing it for the needy rather than God and not expecting rewards of any kind, and I'll call it 'generosity'. When you toss in dogma with the food, it is not generosity. It is an act of crass cynicism seasoned with just enough artificial kindness to fool people.
