A common argument. Why would christians go to heaven when they only do good things out of selfishness. Meanwhile atheists are truly altruistic.

^ Except religious people are much more likely to be charitable than atheists. Seriously, what church doesn`t give to the poor? If you`ve got any shred of critical thinking, you can`t honestly take these comics seriously

^Seriously? My father, who is religious, gives clothes to the poor. Oh, not because he WANTS to or is FORCED to, but because giving away used clothes is a good TAX BREAK. C`mon, if YOU had any critical thinking skills, YOU`D understand that many religious people do certain things either A: because it benefits themselves, or B: because they`ll "go to hell" if they don`t.

^ ok well i guess ur father represents all religious people then. Are you serious? What about option C: doing the right thing because it`s the right thing to do? Many Christians help the poor because in the Bible Jesus said you should. Simple as that.

^whats the difference between a religious person and a person that has read the bible and gained knowledge from but is still atheist. I`m atheist and go to church on holidays...though I don`t believe in the religious persons imaginary man in the sky I can still benefit from the situation. That`s really the only difference...besides when they talk about jesus being ress`ed I have to hold in some laughs.

Csmack, your second comment just proves my point,
"Many Christians help the poor because in the Bible Jesus said you should."

^Nope, you said Christians "do good things out of selfishness."
Where is the selfishness in the statement "give to the poor" or when Jesus said "what you did for the least among you, you did for me"? None of these statements allude to hell or any selfishness as you would like to believe.

So if you can show me the selfishness in that statement then that would be great.

If they give because their saviour said they should, then it is out of respect/fear of the consequences of not. It doesn`t take a great leap in thinking that they do this for fear of going to the other place when they die. Then christians in particular tend to cherry pick what they like from the bible anyway.

So I guess my point is, it would appear that if they were being told to be charitable by their saviour, they would do it, because they were being told to. Not because they truly want to be charitable. More out of how they will be "judged" when they die. I mean, I could be wrong, I`m not religious myself, so I don`t know what fear of hell would really be like. But in all outward appearances, this is how it looks. Helps their chance of reserving a seat in heaven.

^I don`t see where you`re getting this "fear of the consequences" part. Christians are charitable not to avoid going to hell but because of love for one`s neighbor. If you ever ask a Christian why they do charitable things, they`re not going to say "so i don`t burn in hell". They`ll most likely say "to spread the love of Christ". The key word is "love" which is often interchanged with "charity". I`ve never met a christian who didn`t do charity out of love, but rather did it out of fear.

Also, Christianity views every human as made in the image of God and therefore deserving of human dignity which means they should not be deprived of their basic needs. Where`s the fear in that?

The fear isn`t spoken since it`s so deeply engrained. If a christian is doing good things because they want to then that`s great. So why did you say "Many Christians help the poor because in the Bible Jesus said you should.". Shouldn`t they just do it because they believe it`s the right thing to do, not because "Many Christians help the poor because in the Bible Jesus said you should.". Also, why do so many christians tell people they are going to burn for an eternity in hell if they don`t agree with the bible. You say it`s out of love, but that doesn`t seem very loving. More to the point, you also say it`s because of the old "love thy neighbour" commandment. Well that just shows again that they have to be told this, surely it`s a given. Besides, if I was your neighbour, would you love me even though I`m an anti-theist. Or would you just hate me and make my life as difficult as possible out of spite... I think it`s going to be the latter.

" Shouldn`t they just do it because they believe it`s the right thing to do,"
- We do believe it`s the right thing to do. We don`t grudingly go along with what the Bible says. We may justify our charity with Bible passages but that doesn`t mean we don`t believe in what we`re doing. How do you as an anti-theist (drinking the Hitchens cool aid i see) justify Altruism? Who says it`s the right thing to do and why do it if u don`t feel like it?

" Also, why do so many christians tell people they are going to burn for an eternity in hell if they don`t agree with the bible."
- I have never said that and neither have the Christians I know. If you`re speaking of fundamentalists then I don`t agree with them and they don`t speak for me.

"You say it`s out of love, but that doesn`t seem very loving."
- I don`t see what this has to do with charity. Also, just because you get offended doesn`t mean the message is wrong.

It`s one thing to want to do charity but it`s another thing to view charity as an obligation, and it`s an obligation that many Christian willfully embrace. Charity should not only be done when it conveniences us but also when we have to make sacrifices.

"Besides, if I was your neighbour, would you love me even though I`m an anti-theist...I think it`s going to be the latter."
- If you were in need I would consider you my neighbor and regardless of what personal problems I may have with your beliefs I am still obligated to be charitable (to do the right thing whether I want to or not).

But would you begrudge helping me? The way you`ve worded it, it sounds like you might.

As for anti-theist, it wasn`t coined by hitchens, it`s a 200 year old term.

To be honest dewd, you suprise me, your not to bad, a lot of christians and granted often fundamentalists, do just go about threatening people who disagree. It`s nice to talk to a christian who doesn`t ram that shit down my throat, but people like you are becoming a minority. More and more religious people demand that others agree with them.

Either way, you might not dislike being charitable, you might not be doing it because your bible tell`s you to. It begs the question though, why use bible passages to justify it? why do so many religious people claim that atheists don`t do such things because the "believe in nothing". I`m not griefing you here. Just a lot of christians make this claim, I`m hoping you can shine light on why they do that. Because it pisses us off lol. I`m sure you can imagine being told what you believe by someone who doesn`t understand. I mean, shit, I`ve just kind of done the same thing to you by including you in a group of religious people who are quite nasty, who do force their beliefs on others, and do make threats and teach intolerance to differing opinions.
