Uh, oh. Everybody wants to be charitable but no one wants to quote the Bible.
I have no idea what you smoked, but I have never felt charitable, ever felt the need to be, and best, I would NEVER quote your molded book.
That's for starters.
I'm aware there are volunteer firefighters, but they had to start somewhere, they didn't just come running one day.
Well, if you feel the need to start teaching, by all means, be my guest, I hope you follow through with what you preach.
I do not preach anything, but I do dislike false prophets.
The Bible also says, "A sinner takes twice what he's offered." Who has the right to come back for more? The sinner.
As I said, I do not believe in the bible, I have my own beliefs, and feel ZERO guilt about it. Sinner ? Take your guilt ridden philosophy somewhere else, spare me the sermons.
Since you seem to be adept to quotes, here are some from my side of the fence:
_________
"Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter."
~ Francisco D'Anconia
____________
"You have been using fear as your weapon and have been bringing death to man as his punishment for rejecting your morality. We offer him life as his reward for accepting ours."
~ John Galt
__________
"An error made on your own is safer than ten truths accepted on faith, because the first leaves you the means to correct it, but the second destroys you capacity to distinguish truth from error."
~ John Galt
___________
"Money is the sign of liberty. To curse money is to curse liberty is to curse life..."
~ De Gourmont
_____________
"When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both."
~ James Dale Davidson

"It stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there is service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be master."
~ Francisco D'Anconia

"So long as theologians keep within their proper bounds, science has no quarrel with them, for it is no more able to prove that they are wrong then they themselves are able to prove that they are right. But human experience shows that they never keep within their proper bounds voluntarily; they are always bulging over the line, and making a great uproar over things that they know nothing about. "

"I believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind--that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overcome by the damage it has done to clear and honest thinking."
**
The fact, however, that threats of Hell have their social uses is not an argument in favor of the truth of religion; it is simply an argument against the human race. More, it is probably libellous, for the overwhelming majority of men and women are not nearly so vicious as the fancy of theologians makes them out [to be]. Very few men, if Hell were proved to be a fiction tomorrow, would take to the highroad and cut throats, and very few women would turn drabs.
**
The God of love that they preach invariably turns out, on examination, to be a God of harsh and arbitrary penalties and brutalities, just as the brotherhood of man that they preach, brought to the test, turns out to be only a kind of hatred. Hell is still their headquarters...
