(13,029 posts)Anything that only some subset of Christians do can't possibly be motivated by the Bible. Which would mean, among other things, that since not all Christians help the poor or the homeless, that this behavior must be motivated by something other than the Bible. In fact, people interpret what the Bible tells them they should be doing in all sorts of different ways, and there is no threshold percentage of Christians who have to be doing something in order to say that they are motivated by the Bible or their "faith". If you had some actual evidence that these people were lying about their motivation, you would have presented it, but you have nothing but your usual flailing and illogic.
People like you and cbayer keep making the argument that bad people will simply be bad and will find any excuse to justify it, so that the Bible can never, ever be blamed for motivating someone to do evil things. But good people will simply be good, too. Yet, you would like to give all the credit for the good done by people to their religious beliefs, just because they happen to like to dress up and sing on Sunday morning.
