Atheist founded world's largest charity. |
So much for that crock of ***** "Atheists are immoral and don't do good
works."
The founder of computer giant Microsoft Corp. , whose personal fortune of
$46.5 billion topped Forbes magazine's list of the world's richest again
this year, and his wife were named for their work in the Gates Foundation,
the world's biggest charity with a $29 billion endowment, while Bono was
described as the "rocker who has made debt reduction sexy."

Yeah . . . but look at Bush, or any other televangelist, for that matter.
Who's done more (or less, depending on your point of view) for humanity?

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then where does evil come from?

Pat Robertson got rich by doing business with Charles Taylor
(disgraced president of Liberia) and the Apartheid government in
South Africa. Jerry Falwell profited massively by taking over
the PTL and selling it to himself at a low price. Prescott Bush
did business with the nazis. Wal-mart got rich by using slave
labour in the third world.
Xians should correct their own before criticizing other people.
