When you say "there IS a god and he has properties x, y and z". This has nothing to do with your generousity. If you're doing good things because of God, the acts are still good but your ideas about God actually existing are what we refer to as the delusional part.

And the other 90% of the world suffer from a mental disorder that has no scientific credibility behind it?I can't even begin to imagine where you pulled this from. I know some stupid, illogical, ignorant atheists, and the same for religious people. I don't believe atheists are logical. I believe their position on God is pretty logical, but this doesn't reflect their character as a whole.

Nope, I place no trust in US doctors, I've never been to the states
But even so, I'd place my trust in them because they are probably very logical peple who understand their job thoroughly. They just have one illogical stance in their free time, but this doesn't affect my treatment.

Nor am I. I was just pointing out that religion isn't necessary for good deeds. Religious charities defintely help, nobody is denying this?
