living water digs wells in predominately muslim regions, so....

evangalizing, how dare the Church atempt to save people's souls, lets all kill them. and fortunately if the poor reject their teachings, they still get soup and shelter. good luck having a different view than your proffesor and get a passing grade.

no matter how you try to spin it, conservatives still give astronomically more than liberals, and only a little little bit less if you exclude church charities (which is insane, as the services they provide benefit millions more people than thing liberals give to, how exactly does a musem help). liberals like giving other peoples money, while conservatives give their own (something Christian values intill in them), and make less


The world doesn't need Christian values.  It's past that stage in its evolution and has been for close to 160 years.  And, along with whatever good Christian values give to people it also teaches many people to do very petty things like hate gays or subjugate women.

 

Christianity teaches that all the world's ills will be cured by a dead and non existent God like Jesus.  And it really holds them back in many ways.  Why push for beneficial things like improvements to one's worthless healthcare purchased from the company you work for when the world's about to end and Jesus supposedy will bring you Cadillacs and Mansions?

 

No donations to universities and scientific instiitutions that do real research into improvements in medicine and technology help far more people than donations to Christian churches ever do.

again you still ignore the majority of the post.

and its very clear that you dont know what Christianity teaches because it teaches the exact opposite of that (the bolded)

also in no shape or form do Christian believe or tought that Jesus will bring mansions or cadallacs. but it does teach people that their body is their temple, and it must be taken care of, that means good healthcare.

furthermore, when i said universities, i should have been more specific, as liberals tend to give things to classes like "humanities" and classes that typicall has "studies" in their name. those close have little to nothing to do with research like curing disseases


Christianity doesn't teach the exact opposite of the bolded.  Christianity teaches that the lifestyles of gays is displeasing to its God and that at the very least gays should be cured rather than allowed to live as they see fit, that people follow a different God that they're going to Hell, and The Bible certainly teaches that men are supposed to be the heads of their households and their wives are supposed to be their faithful and submissive helpmates.

Billy Graham, one of the most influential Christian Ministers in the history of the US said that in the afterlife Christians would be driving Cadillas on Streets of Gold.  And Fundamentalist Christians do tend to believe that we are living in the End Times when if they're faithful to The Bible and its teachings then Jesus will very much bring them all the celestial wonders they could ever dream up after a time of great catastrophe for everyone else.

In the era we live in, which happens to be long after much of The Bible was found to be very prejudicial and to basically endorse utter crap like stoning people that are different from others, classes in the humanities are very important as they do demonstrate to people how they should get along with others in the world they live in today ie. we should embrace and be tolerant  of the differences that people have rather than condemning them or trying to change their preferred sexual orientations
