SciFi - More government handouts isn't charity.
Rather than help someone from your own heart, you'd rather the government ruthlessly enforce charity. Not a real way to benevolence.
I'd like to think I know something about charity. I've given out more money to needy people this year than 10 of the average atheists.
SciFi, you may want to do some research on private vs. public charity and benevolence. There's a great chasm between what the private charity does vs. government welfare. |
i didnt say it was charity, i said its helping the same people
most every atheist i know, is a nice person who cares about others, they may not give to charity, but are they lesser people becuase of that? i dont think so, do you?

I do...
though I look down on everybody who has more then just what they need to survive since there are people who don't have enough of things to survive. (Yes the includes me.)
People who are willing to give up at least a little bit of themselves are better off then those who aren't willing to help out at all... but still largely selfish dicks.
