Everytime this gets reposted, it gets pointed out that the Pat Robertson claim is not true.

Hey now. Pat Robertson does not represent all of us Christians. He's a crazy motherfucker.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

The richest man in the world, Carlos Slim Helú is a Christian/Catholic and has donated or spent billions on charity and good causes. Give it a fucking rest. Pat Roberson is a crackpot nobody and does not represent anyone.

a true atheist knows that religion has very little to do with who or what you are on the inside.

Edit: I was wrong about Buffett and Gates being religious which is why the comment below calls me intellectually dishonest and debunks what I said. I'm not a liar and I'm not an exaggerator, so "intellectually dishonest" might be a stretch, as I think my point still stands. Didn't do my research? Lazy? Dead wrong? Yeah, sorry about all that.

I will however still maintain that to actually sit there and compare the lives on supposed Christians versus non-Christians is rather futile. You bring up Robertson, maybe even the Pope. I'm not going to judge Robertson as a Christian or non-Christian but his financial behavior is anything but Christian. I will admit that many Christians don't heed the countless warnings about money throughout the Bible (though the Bible never condemns wealth). Many Christians are very unlike their Christ (Gandhi paraphrase).

But for every person like Robertson you bring up there's a person like Rick Warren. A Christian multi-millionaire who donates his money to charity and the church and only lives on 10% of his income. Robertson isn't respected by most serious and mature Christians much less by non-Christians. Rick Warren is very respected and even hosted one of the 2008 presidential debates between Obama and McCain.

And we could throw names around all day. There are a lot of very good Christians and a lot of very good non-Christians. There are a lot of very bad Christians (I'm one of them) and lot of very bad non-Christians.

The temptation of wealth to worship money and to put faith in it. The Christian teaching is to turn from faith in money and material, to put it into perspective. To make money, material possessions, and ourselves the servant and the Christian god the master. That's counter-cultural. In fact, if my goal in life was to be rich, I'd very much resent Christianity for telling me that there are more important things in life than myself. I'm not saying that Buffett and Gates haven't done so without Christianity. It seems to be the case and I am genuinely happy for them. At the same time, let's not get too carried away pointing the finger.

It is very commendable what Buffet and Gates have and are doing but I don't believe religion has anything to do with it. I am not super religious and attend church 3-4 times a year so don't take this as a religious person having a bash. These pictures say to me that to be religious means your mean with money, which isn't true. The guy is a dick, not because of his beliefs but just because he's a dick.

You might have as well posted picture of Stalin and how good he was without God. Because he's as big good representative of Atheism as that person is of Christianity.

I am certainly not saying that you cannot be good without God, because you can, but this picture is just lube for atheist circlejerk.

So just because one super rich crazed Christian is a horrible person then that means every other Christian is as well? Thanks for clearing that up Reddit. Why don't we also say that all homosexuals are serial killers and rapists because of Jeffrey Dahmer.

Warren Buffet: "I’ll tell you why I like the cigarette business. It costs a penny to make. Sell it for a dollar. It’s addictive. And there’s fantastic brand loyalty."

MennisDripp · 11 months

so he's the richest christian? and gates is the second richest... i dgaf about that old prick. who is the richest man in the world?

bldkis · 11 months

Okay, this was neat and interesting the first time.

I'm not one to bitch about reposts. I generally don't mind them.

But come the fuck on! You mean to say you really haven't seen this before?

SCSI · 11 months

Wait a minute, is it really spelled 'Evangellical' with a double l?

crayolaface · 11 months

I think he's doing it wrong...

skurkee · 11 months

I think he gives christians a bad rep. i'm just sayin

BigTuna_103 · 11 months

All that money donated to charity, I'd like to see what came out of it.

Zinnober · 11 months

Wow, most of the commenters here seem to have totally missed the point.

It's a pretty simple message to swallow, for atheists and theists alike...

I thought the bottom guy was going to be Steve Jobs. Too soon?

admdelta · 11 months

The way it's used in this image, "God" should be capitalized. Whether you believe in God or not, it's still a name and therefore a proper noun. If you want to lowercase the word "god," then the correct syntax should be "a god." Don't people know how English works any more? God.

I'm not an American but given the Bill O'Reilly youtubes I have seen the last few years, it appears to me that the American people who are pro-religion also seem to be the ones who support the war the most.

They might not know what makes the tides go in and out but they are pretty damn sure how you handle terrorism.

I posted this on facebook, got 11 aesthists' likes and several christians' hate comments.

argoff · 11 months

Not that I like Robertson, but for the record, Gates and Buffet aren't giving hardly anything to charity. It's a tax shelter. They might do something like buy a billion dollars worth of medicine for children, but at 1000% markup from other companies they own.

drhuntzzz · 11 months

I think it's a shame that one of the people who cares so much about people is demonized because of his beliefs. So maybe he's a little crazy. He was responsible for significant aid in Haiti BEFORE the earthquake. If you judge him by what he does instead of what he says, he's a pretty good guy. http://ob.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Blessing_International

Christian values are so strong, even agnostics give stuff away.

In non-Christian cultures, they give nothing away.

A true atheist would give nothing away.
