Frustrating you don't understand how churches work and the "charity" they do is self-serving.
Oh son, you really have no clue who you are talking to.
Was an atheist and eventually an anti-theist for a decade and a half. Sam Harris was my favorite 'horseman'. The moment I got out from under my conservative catholic family's thumb
Realized I was an idiot and atheism is untenable, gave my heart to Christ and volunteered for more than a decade at a free drug rehab mission helping men recover from addiction and get back on their feet
So basically, there is no atheism argument you can bring that I haven't already worn to death (but please feel free to try, I am quite eager on this point and have boundless energy to reply), and I have direct hands-on experience with how effective church charity can be when handled ethically
Sure I agree there are tons of churches that are rotten to the core, and I have no issue with any of them losing their tax exempt status at all. In fact, I kind of am even more angry at duplicitous false Christians than I am about you heathens and YES I make it a point to call them out even more often than I do your ilk. Yes I said 'ilk', deal with it.
I have seen brilliant and kind people dedicate their lives to a much humbler life of service than they could have taken in the private sector because they burned with the desire to help their fellow man, and I WILL NOT stand silent while people like you smear their good deeds with your implications that all church charity is self-serving
But you will do it without threatening language. Think it over and come back in a day if you'd like.
What an impressive big boy resume for an insulting baby-man.
Churches suck; they manipulate, drain, and abuse their communities then claim to be better than everyone and get away with it because enablers like you.
Eat a whole bag of dicks you pompous asshole.
