Atheism

One thing I've learned. you have a sense of humour.
Thank God.

I'm not sure what you're getting at mate but I don't give a rat's ass about what catholics or any other organised religion or cult think, so if they want to make fools of themselves praying to Jesus's mum that's zilch to do with me.

A few years ago the owner of a military history website announced that he wouldn't be able to tend it much from now on because his wife was seriously ill and needed a heart-lung transplant.
So I said to him "I know a few Christian groups, would you like me to ask them to say prayers for her?", but he replied "No thanks, she's got people around her looking after her".
Perhaps he was an atheist or just a lousy hub, I don't know, but I wonder if most atheists in his position would turn down prayer help?

In another different forum once , one guy was an atheist and was saying the usual stuff about christians being hypocrites blah blah, so i said to him "Mate, you mentioned your daughter would love a pony, so can me and a christian group send you a £100 (150 USdollars) donation to help you get one for her?"
But he gave a waffly non-committal reply without saying yes or no, so I said "Okay, but just let us know anytime if you want the cash and we'll send it to you".
That was 5 years ago but he still hasn't replied.
Is he a lousy dad or what?
Would other atheists have accepted the cash?

2- If a cause is just and right, christians are glad to support it, for example much cash donated by the public to the Big Charities finds its way into the pockets of the charity bosses, Al-Qaeda and Somali warlords etc, so most christians prefer instead to donate only to smaller trustworthy charities such as local homeless or disabled groups in their own cities, or to people they know all about.

1- Re "prayer", think of it as "thought-pressure" that bends this dream we call "reality".
As i've speculated before, Jesus was a "Master of the Art of Dream Manipulation", seemingly able to bend the rigid laws of physics to produce what looked like miracles.

I know christians who never leave the house without extra cash in their pockets to dish out to beggars and the homeless in the street.

But if an unknown golfer in Florida or wherever was to ask for a handout to buy himself or his kids a pony, no christians would be mug enough to donate in case he splashed it out on a new set of clubs..

Who'd you rather christians gave cash to mate, to you or to something like a sick kids charity?
