[W: 330] Why People Hate Religion

So if you are doing it just to satisfy a mandate, then that is not doing it for unselfish reasons?. You are doing it because you are instructed to do it by your God. That is selfish. It is necessary to do it so you don't get in trouble with your god. How is that no selfish?

Charity to get votes is selfish. When no one is looking and there's nothing to gain, that is charity for charity's sake. Only you could call that selfish.

Because I can't help but notice how some of y'all's "charity" only goes as far as your politics.

Because not all of the poor get those things.

And, that's the precise reason that several different religious groups will coordinate their efforts, to try to cover those people. Do you think the poor care if the food was donated to them via someone who calls themselves a 'satanist' or an Anglican? For that matter, Social Services in many states does a damn better job in insuring that everyone at least gets something.

Wow, you really don't know much about this, do you? The reason not all of the poor are taken care of is because social services the government screws it up. Look up McDowall county, W. Va., and no, I am not posting any links, do your own research, you apparently have all day to do this.
 
Re: Why People Hate Religion

And by the way, the last time I was in W. Va. I didn't see any Satanists conducting a food drive.

So, you are blaming the republicans then. Of course, when the concept of Charity started, the whole 'econonmy' concept didn't exist either. Do fail less.

Spare me your hackery. No, I am blaming the Democrats, who tried to destroy the only industry they have, mining. Also, look up the Greek word "agape" which is usually translated as "charity".

Mixing politics and religion like that is the sign of beling a total political hack, and shows a lack of thought, understand, , and does neither politics or religion any favors.

The reason to hate religion is easy--religious people.

So far it's been a 100% failure rate for everybody I've seen who tried to walk on water.

The ones I've seen have black capes. Barring that, they will probably have a sign like the one in the OP

My sister and her husband, who were Wiccans rather than satanists, ran around NYC wearing clerical collars and black shirts. :roll:

That sounds straight out of a campy 1970's movie.

Bingo. Thus why I couldn't quite comprehend how somebody can claim they've never seen a Satanist at a food drive. How would they know in the first place?

Yes, but at any random charitable event, we know nothing personally about the people we encounter at them; thus why I'm still curious how somebody can claim to have never seen a Satanist at a food drive. There just is no way to know that.

This was in Chicago. I don't remember what they called themselves (officially) but they had black capes. This was long before Harry Potter. The girls were hot (maybe hotter than I realized!)

They really had some cockamamie theology.
