Here's my definition of a Christian,

A Christian is an arrogant fool which turns up at the same place and at the same time every Sunday paying an even bigger fool to read them fairy tales out of an old book written some 2000 years ago by an even bigger fool or fools !!

Sound familiar ? I think we all know somebody that fits that description here. Hey longloser do you copy Grin

An interesting observation of Christianity is, though, the concept of charity is still alive and well. It is Christian organisations feeding and clothing the homeless and poor. Can you name any secular organisation (government handouts do not count) that does such things?

It is very interesting that while atheist left-leaning intellectuals claim to be the representation of 'equality' and 'egalitarianism', and paint Christians as 'stupid' and 'evil' fools, you do not see any atheist organisations clothing and feeding the homeless and poor.

There is something in that the average Joe should think about.

That is their saving grace. That's what they're here on earth for, it's the main feature of their job description.

What other organisations so religiously pass the plate around?

If they didn't feed the poor, what excuse would they have for tithing? They don't use it all for feeding the poor, do they?

I'll take that as an admission there are no atheist/secular organisations helping the homeless and poor.

Of course there are and its been pointed out to you before (and you decided not to read any more hahaha). 1 example is doctor without borders.

What a load of crap. There arent any "atheist organisations" because it is just the lack of belief in a deity.

SOB

Still repeating this drivel. Roll Eyes

Well, you see if these "atheists" actually gave a poo about feeding the poor, they could start a "feeding the poor" organisation, rather than an "atheist organisation". But they don't. Angry

Because for them, preening and puffing is better than action.

It is not the job of Athiests or Agnostics to feed the poor, although I know many do, however, it IS the job of Christians to feed the poor. They have declared publicly that they will follow in the teachings of Christ by becoming Christians.

Churches are obliged to feed the poor, all others are not.

don't you ever dare to criticise anyone else ever again. I cant believe someone can be so ugly, and so uncaring as to say that they have no obligation to help the poor and needy. You criticise Andrei and rightly so, but he looks like the good samaritan compared to you.

How is it ugly to point out that churches are obligated by their religion whereas nobody else is? She didnt say nobody else does just that nobody else is obligated to.

Longweekend,
we all contribute far more than the 10% tithe by way of tax.

This money goes to social security to feed & house the poor.

What is your problem?

very very little of it goes to the genuinely poor that the Churches help. if you think your taxes are an alternative to a social conscience then congratulations - you have none.

Dear Longy,
I pay such heavy taxes that I feel no need to contribute more for the poor.
I consider myself to be one of the poor - the working poor.

I don't live at Point Piper like the rich.

so don't contribute money. contribute TIME. go work at a shelter or feed the homeless or help a church wrap up presents for the poor at Christmas time.

but you wont. the reality is that you talk the talk but when asked to actually HELP the poor and needy you are just like the rest of the atheists. NOT INTERESTED.

Dear Longy,
I will volunteer my time when I am retired.
It's a bit much to ask me when I'm working fulltime isn't it?

forgiven

namaste

who do you think these volunteers are now, booby? they are fulltime employed people who give up evenings, weekends and very early mornings. people like you say the will volunteer' one day' never do. they are all talk and no walk. if you havent volunteered before retirement you certianly wont after. and thats just how it is.

Hey gay-stalker. Are you aware that Christians that tithe also pay the same tax as you do? Are you ever going to make a relevant post?

So? Tithing isnt something non-religious ppl are compelled to do. Your choice.

lets not forget that for 1800 of the last 2000 years, all music, art and science came from the Church. Also, all schooling and universities were church run. Most private schools now are Church run. Welfare was first begun by the church and it is only recently that govt got into the act.

The symbol for the medical profession coems straight out of the Bible and again, until recently ALL hospitals were church run and all doctors and nurses, church trained.

Atheists write books (and start threads) decrying God while Christians feed the poor and love the unlovely. Who do you think looks after the homeless now? it aint government.

the only reason ANYTHING has come from the church is because there wasnt anything else. If you declared you were an atheist you got locked away or killed so nobody admitted it. Primitive. Long ago. We have outgrown it now.

SOB

people are sick to death of your stupidity. you just make stuff up from the demented organ you call a brain. your stupidty was entertaining at first, but now you are just a stupid bore with not a credible comment in sight.

Then why on earth do the chattering classes claim to be the bastions of equality and egalitarianism? If it's not their job, then they ought to stop talking as if it is.

It is not clear who you are talking about there but i expect its the non-fairy believing ppl. Well the thing is that the religious ppl are not doing a good enough job of looking after the poor. In fact the religious nuts here dont even want the dole raised.

It was only recently that government usurped the role of charity, and it wasn't for benevolent reasons.

and what charity was the catholic church offering during 600 years of the Inquisition ? They were stealing money from people after torturing them to death and certainly not giving any !! A fine charitable history that is Sad

Dunno, but that was the catholic church 600 years ago. This topic is about all christian denominations today. Do you have anything a bit more....relevant to bring to the table?

if churches lived by their bible then why on earth did these churches have their money stashed away in a foreign bank instead of doling it out to the needy ??

if churches secular intellectuals lived by their bible preacing then why on earth did these churches intellectuals have their money stashed away in a foreign bank instead of doling it out to the needy ??

No idea who you are talking about there but secular individuals dont have a bible or religion compelling them to do stuff.

Right. So what IS the job of atheists or agnostics? I mean, besides puffing and preening and sneering at those less trendy? They do tend to expend a lot of wind blathering about 'social justice' and 'equality' but I just don't see much in the way of action. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.

Atheists and agnostics dont have a job - since all it means is lack of belief in a deity.

Here's my definition of a Christian,

A Christian is an arrogant fool which turns up at the same place and at the same time every Sunday paying an even bigger fool to read them fairy tales out of an old book written some 2000 years ago by an even bigger fool or fools !!

Sound familiar ? I think we all know somebody that fits that description here. Hey longloser do you copy Grin

An interesting observation of Christianity is, though, the concept of charity is still alive and well. It is Christian organisations feeding and clothing the homeless and poor. Can you name any secular organisation (government handouts do not count) that does such things?

It is very interesting that while atheist left-leaning intellectuals claim to be the representation of 'equality' and 'egalitarianism', and paint Christians as 'stupid' and 'evil' fools, you do not see any atheist organisations clothing and feeding the homeless and poor.

There is something in that the average Joe should think about.

What a load of crap. There arent any "atheist organisations" because it is just the lack of belief in a deity.

SOB

Still repeating this drivel. Roll Eyes

Well, you see if these "atheists" actually gave a poo about feeding the poor, they could start a "feeding the poor" organisation, rather than an "atheist organisation". But they don't. Angry

Because for them, preening and puffing is better than action.

It is not the job of Athiests or Agnostics to feed the poor, although I know many do, however, it IS the job of Christians to feed the poor. They have declared publicly that they will follow in the teachings of Christ by becoming Christians.

Churches are obliged to feed the poor, all others are not.

don't you ever dare to criticise anyone else ever again. I cant believe someone can be so ugly, and so uncaring as to say that they have no obligation to help the poor and needy. You criticise Andrei and rightly so, but he looks like the good samaritan compared to you.

How is it ugly to point out that churches are obligated by their religion whereas nobody else is? She didnt say nobody else does just that nobody else is obligated to.

SOB

you need a religious obligation top help the poor and needy??? are you that bereft of a conscience?

Hahaha not even a nice try there.

Atheists and non-xtians can help the needy or not. They arent compelled by some imaginary being to do so.

SOB

Back to top

Whaaaaaah!
I'm a
Moron!
