The Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, is the third largest in the world, preceded only by the Salvation Army and Red Cross. So you see Christians lead even above nations in disaster relief. God does care and moves through His people to help those in need.
How do you know what I have and have not done? That's not to say that you're wrong, just that you're making an awful big assumption. I could do a lot more, but I do charity work, donate to worthy causes, and spend time helping in my community. Churches are really good at motivating large groups of people to come together for causes; I do have to give you that. But you do not have a monopoly on charity and aid. We see Christians leading everything because an overwhelming majority of the wealthiest nations in the world are predominantly Christian. However, there are plenty of atheist and humanist groups that do exactly the same thing. The church does not own compassion. It's a human quality, not a Christian quality.
All of that said, the Church could do a lot more than it does too. Millions of dollars each year are wasted fighting things like gay marriage. Millions are wasted in ridiculously lavish structures to worship in. There are plenty of better causes that these dollars and this time could go to.
On the subject of disaster relief, God's people wouldn't have to spend so much time and money on disaster relief if he would cut us a break with the crappy weather and tectonic system that he designed for us.

Angry, like shit and looking forward to my death so I can escape morons
Hey Kich, how you been, about escaping morons the Bible is a good place to go.

I don't know about that. The bible is full of people that do not seem that intelligent or friendly. God is quite the vindictive fellow. Abraham was willing to kill his own son. Jacob's brothers sold him into slavery. Samson was rather dim and had an extreme temper with poor justification for the slaughter of thousands. Saul repeatedly tried to kill David, who was dumb enough to keep coming back for more abuse. Elisha had a group of youths mauled by a bear for making fun of his baldness. David had a dude put into mortal danger so he could get jiggy with his wife ... All of the bible's great figures seem to have some pretty dark sides to them, and none of them seem particularly intelligent or particularly competent as leaders. And quite frankly, I would be constantly in fear of my life if I had to hang around with these guys for any length of time.
