And just how did the hypocrite thing get turned around on us atheists? We're not the ones going on TV begging for money to help the poor while flying around in luxury private jets. We're not the ones living in mansions preaching the prosperity gospel and cutting social programs which help the poor & needy while claiming to be fine upstanding Christians. When assholes like Pat Robertson sell everything they have and give that money to the poor, then live on about $40,000 a month like my wife & I do, then they'll get respect from me.
This is why Christians who do nothing to help the poor are hypocrites. They claim to follow Jesus who was VERY adamant about helping the less fortunate but often don't lift a finger to actually help out someone who needs it. I don't have such a doctrine which compels me to help others except for secular humanism, but it doesn't say to sell everything I have to give to the poor. It just says help out and do what you can. Which I've done and continue to do as much as I can.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
