Atheist organizations defer to others the initiative of hard work to establish charities to third-world nations but decide to take the initiative when it comes to lawsuits for separation of church and state, for which there are secular organizations which already do that too.
Yes, they do have their priorities....
Christ in a Datsun Cherry this getting tedious, let's try a slightly different tack.
See this funny looking chap here, carl? That's Prince Philip and he's the husband of the Queen of England.
Prince Philip has nothing to do with atheists failing to organize their resources to initiate relief to the suffering world.
You know what the problem with deliberate obtuseness is, carl? It's indistinguishable from the genuine article.
Yes, atheists initiate lawsuits, billboards, and atheist conventions, which is all good but in the words of Jesus:
Matthew 23: “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’ 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness."
Cut and paste skills aren't as impressive as discoursive honesty, carl.
What good are atheist conventions and billboards when people are starving and dying?
Never having attended an atheist convention or put up a billboard, I wouldn't know, but why don't you provide the evidence that you haven't erected a false dichotomy? Impress us with your evidence that atheist conventions and giving to charity are mutually exclusive.
