You don't think that that is cheating, do you?

A Christian preacher…for the greater good! Thank you

Being a minister isn’t always being evil, though I don’t believe myself. Warnock seems to understand what actual love for one’s neighbor is.

Just means I don't buy Gods. I put humans above Gods, that is all it means to me. I only draw a line when my rights are infringed.

even if I don't believe in his religion.

and will often do so again, in small amounts, until its done.

committed to send Warnock $2.00 a week thru Dec 6

This Christian is well aware that many (maybe most) atheists an agnostics can spot a real Christian better than most Christians.

I sent some too - not a lot - but every penny helps. He was elected in the first place through a special election - our Georgia Democrats are very good at that - my confidence is pretty high.

I know that this is not universal and I know that there are some wonderful practicing Christians. However, It has been my observation, that many Atheists live a more "Christian" lifestyle than the Christians that I live among. I live in a rural area, and the church going Christians, that I grew up with, are hateful right-wingers. They still long for Jim Crow, they hate the Spanish speaking workers that they hire to work on the farms, and they are misogynists' pigs. These folks assume that I am one of them, so they speak freely in my presence. If they are right in their religious beliefs, they may have a surprise waiting at the Pearly Gates.

Heck, Atheists have to be better to live with themselves because we can't go down on our knees in the evening and bargain for forgiveness. We have to live with our sins and if we want to mitigate our guilt, we have to figure out how to make amends without using magical incantations...

"I like your Christ - I do not like your Christians, they are so unlike your Christ."

For that matter, Jesus himsalef apparently had no illusions about "his people":

"Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter." Matt 7:21

You can pick your translation but they are essentially the same. So we also need to make tangible, so to speak, amends too. Many don't get that.

You made the right call!
