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
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.
Frustrating you don’t understand how churches work and the “charity” they do is self-serving.

But you will do it without threatening language. Think it over and come back in a day if you’d like.
