An atheist or a theist who does work for the poor, ultimately does nothing, without a God in existence in reality, because it will all be for naught when it is all destroyed. We are not saying your belief in atheism means you do not have worth, we are saying neither you nor I have any worth if we are all products of natural processes. Mother Nature does not care about you or I, because Mother Nature is really mother nature!!!"<br /><br />Awesome. This is exactly what we need to do with atheists.
