If you can not find one redeeming act provided by the Christian church you are being intentionally obtuse.

You started off okay, but then you starting spouting nonsense (again).
Agreed, people can help others regardless of going to, or being part of, a church.
If you're comparing one group helping to another group helping, then you're probably missing the point. If a Christian church gives $1 million in aid and an atheist church gives $5 million, or vice versa, and I was one of the people that received a portion of that $6 million in aid, I would be grateful that all parties involved cared enough to give something. If an outside group gave $2 million (or just a loaf of bread for my family), I would be equally grateful.

I already told you that you've convinced me. You're just wasting good effort now. Your shameless greed is of no concern or value. That's nothing more or less than an admission that your assent can be bought.

What is the church if not people? If you can come to terms with the truth ans see the people that create the body/church then your whole arguement suppotes everything I have said.
Again if you can not see people as the church then you again are intentionally being blind.
