Anyone remember those bible verses where Christ is telling the "rich man" to give all he had to the poor? How many xians do you think actually do that?

Ironically enough, some secularists are urging something close to that, and they've put their monies where their mouths are.

Gates and Buffet have long been philanthropist, generously giving away large sums of money to good causes annually. In 2006, Buffet agreed to give away 99% of his total fortune of $46 billion to charitable causes. Gates holds the number one spot on the list of richest Americans while Buffet is close behind in the number two spot.

So far, four billionaire couples have jumped on board with their pledge


Think any televangelists will sign on?


Come to think of it, remember that jackass Mariano and all his talk about the lack of atheist charities.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

Yes, where is Joel Osteen and those like him right now? Probably scheduling some football stadiums to fill with their sheep.
