Who cares about the actual amount anyone has donated?. If a person can comfortably afford to donate only $1 and does so, that is admirable.

Ten Penny blurted this:
"I expect I've donated more to Haiti relief than you have."
ONE Penny, don't fools ever learn? Looking at your post, the obvious answer is: NO they don't.
When - on another thread - you challenged me if I've ever been involved in charities, I listed my involvements. My post is still there, for anyone to see.
Since I am a very tender, loving and sensitive person I did not want to hurt your feelings by asking you about YOUR involvments in charity, knowing, or at least sensing, that the real and honest answer would only embarrass you.
So, here you go again, mouthing off and using offensive terms without knowing what he heck you are talking about.

I donated nothing and don't intend to donate anything. You'll can piss in the ocean and brag about filling a bathtub if you like though. You're all so ****ing generous I'm ashamed to be in the same thread.
Ah refreshing honesty.......although Beav, you should usually be ashamed to be in ANY thread.

I am, but I know that personal redemption can only blossom in such fine hospitable company.
Ah reading comprehension just isn't your forte, is it?
First of all, I did not actually attempt, nor did I intend to identify those that did, or did not help out.......they know who they are, and who the post was directed towards.
Secondly, I didn't tell (in the sense of order) them to STFU, I merely suggested that their criiticism was hypocrisy if they had not donated, and to avoid accusations and feelings of guilt, perhaps they would be best advised to STFU.
Yes, I glad we agree that I do.
And Yes, I did.

True, true, and we are willing, if hesitant, to suffer the burden of your company in the sincere desire that redemption shall, indeed, blossom.
Hope springs eternal.
It's good to have warm understanding friends who never display any hesitation in extending their firm but benevolent consideration. Hope is indeed it's own reward. No man or bird is an island.
"Belief is an anchor that prevents the winds of criticism from blowing the ship of curiosity into new cognitive waters. Belief turns science into the pseudo-religion of scientism, which then tries to wrest from established religions the sacerdotal claim to revelation of divine truth. Criticism, especially of fundamentals, will be the first sacrificial offering slaughtered on the new altar."The No-Belief Belief System
I remember one post you made about atheists not donating. I replied that Les did. So much for your idea that atheists are cold-hearted and evil, huh?

I only said that atheists are far more reliably skinflints than those who believe.
Exceptions to the rule - athough extremely rare - are respected.

Pathetic. Why do you live in Canada? Free healthcare and that's it? Won't be long until you'll be cut off. Then what?
Would you have any supporting data for that claim? Or is it just your opinion?
How much dough and supplies has the RCC offered? It's obscenely rich. Has it matched the US? Canada? Or has it just suggested to Catholics that they dig deep?

How much have the oil-producing Muslim Arab states offered?
Has any religion matched what some companies (secular) have donated?

I could, if it wasn't so obvious. Let me ask you, thogh, can you name any city that has an ATHEIST Hospital? I could name any number that has St. Joseph, St. Mary's, etc.
As well, in all my mission trips since 1993, mostly with Habitat for Humanity, I have NEVER met an atheist. But, of course, that is only anecdotal evidence.
I am also willing to bet that very few of the people in Haiti, who are there to help are atheists.

Atheism isn't an organization, Jack. Religions are organizations. And there are many secular churches around. I'd have thought that would be obvious.
At any rate, I didn't think you could support your opinion that religious people are more likely to give than atheists.
You actually ask everyone you meet if they are atheist or not? But at any rate, atheists are a minority so it isn't surprising that you wouldn't have met any, especially the ones that advertise the fact.
How many women do I meet in the supermarket that have gone through menopause? I don't know unless I ask.
How many people have I met that are handicapped in ways that aren't obvious? I don't know unless I ask.
Maybe that's because they are vastly outnumbered by the amount of religious people.
If I look for a single Mac apple growing on my Gravenstein tree, am I likely to find one?

No, but on Habitat for Humanity build sites there are morning and afternoon prayers. I would think that an atheist would have the integrity to stand aside during those prayers. I have not seen anybody who did not participate.
So, either the atheists there were total hypocrits, or there wasn't any.
