I thank God everyday for athiests [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Goblinmonger (a host of the Atheists & Agnostics group).

All the athiests who work to ease the sufferring of others.

Who fight for social justice.

Who believe, like Christ that the poor are oppressed by a capitalist system in which the poor are units of production and not human beings worthy of the same dignity as anyone else.

God bless you - not a dig but a recognition of the work we must do together, motivations aside.

Lets get to work. Lets stop fighting.
