Yes, I do things for people for free. I've done things for free for strangers who were willing to pay me, but I declined the money.

I'm an atheist.

The intent of my post was certainly not to suggest that atheists are incapable of such things. Good for you, that's great if you do those things for your friends and neighbors.

You believe God does miracles today through pastors?

Ah! So then...let's see if you have any intellectual integrity and honesty at all. Let's see you go to post # 46 here....

...a nd lets see you castigate your fellow Christian Mike555 for his demeaning and insulting words.

I bet you don't!

Then pray tell just what exactly is a the point in posting threads about pastors doing good things when the same can apply to anyone?

It would certainly be more impressive than the banal good deeds you keep listing.
