Quote:"Christian organisations appeal to christian people for money"Yes, Christian orgnizations are crying out for help to feed these starvation children.
Quote:The answer you were looking for is "yes, it is possible. Oxfam, red cross, etc also advertise and don't need a religious backbone to do it."You mentioned two, that is wonderful!! Now, do you want me to start mentioning the thousands of Christian organizations that donate more than you could ever image? You don't see my point. I'm not trying to make it a "we give more than you" arguement.
The point is.. Us "delusional" people are helping out just as much as you "normal" people.. so why the criticism?
We are proving we are just as generous as you "normal" people.
Where does delusion come into place? When I look to the sky and say "God please help this planet you have created, and look after those who are in need of help in this time of crisis?" How do you justify calling that a delusion if you cannot disprove it.
So, by this arguement, you are claiming all atheists are normal logical thinking human beings? And the other 90% of the world suffer from a mental disorder that has no scientific credibility behind it?
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't present this arguement to a Atheist Vs. Theist debate session.
Mental disorders and delusions are detected by medical examiners and psychiatrists. So far, no proof God is a delusion.
As a matter of fact, most psychiatrists in the U.S are Christian. Are they plagued with this "horrible delusion?"
What about most U.S Doctors? They claim they are Christian believers. Do you place your trust and blind faith into someone who is delusional behind the knife to save your life? Hmm? It sounds like you are jumping into dangerous waters..
