Good one. lol. People being 'good' because it's just naturally right doesn't fit in this case. Plenty of possessions that could be sold, or never held in the first place, leaving plenty for others, and lot's of time wasted that could be used to help others, instead of over helping ourselves. There was a guy who preached this stuff, which we call religion, but that's dumb and wrong somehow? No wonder why they put him to death for talking sense.

People being "good" has helped a ton. - Bill Gates with his foundation and the Billions he has donated to assist those in need.
But materialism that you are eloquently describing isn't inherently a religions/non-religious affair... The Church essentially is one of the wealthiest organizations on the planet with a store-front in every town/neighborhood/state/country on the planet who avoid paying taxes and always have their hands out for donations.
They likely own Trillions in just property across the Globe alone.

Why does he donate?
True but if the church was dirt poor would anyone pay any attention to it? How much more or less good does the church do with it's wealth as compared to others?

That smells like an assertion. - Got evidence?

Nope don't need it either, as I was poking holes through your assertion.

Leaving out your full reply because what you said falls under the same assertions my point did? That's pretty MSM of you. How do you know if there is a God that they couldn't die? Where did you learn that? It sure wasn't science class.
