I actually would miss Hooty because it's the only common enemy to unite the chat

My army is great

A new study by the University of California, Berkeley, suggests athiests and agnostics are more willing to help other people than those who identify themselves as religious.

@A Random Crusader agreed

Our political differences have been put aside to bully one autist

Are you misreading this?

Does the Salvation Army only help Christians?

I'm an atheist and the Salvation Army didn't give a fuck.

@DanielKO no but they wont help the gays

*Berkeley*

hooty is such an intolerant bigot

Do they check the Straight or Gay card before they help somebody?

well at least here in canada

yes

The reason for this difference, the study found, is because atheists are driven by emotions, such as compassion, as opposed to religious people, who may be more influenced by "doctrine, a communal identity, or reputational concerns."

(They also accepted a homosexual while I was there. Didn't ask.)

Hooty is giving me free exp so I'm ok with his existence

@Deleted User not necessarily true, or at all really, you make religious people ironically sound like the robots here

Me rikey

@Deleted User It States Athiests tend to be more trusting and willing to help, does not mention actual charity

It's all emotional

She's tiny because she's a woman

from the arguments of the past i have had, hooty is right in a way

Because she's an asian woman.

most charity is religous in nature but on the street level athiest give more

@Jek Porkins *wink wink*

Im not attracted to asians

Atheists give more?

Is that racist

Atheists tend to be more trusting because they do not have an out group, this is fine but on a charity level they give less

@HungBunny no

I'd like to see the sources for that.

churchs use tithe which most people think they must give rather then want to to go to heaven and all that

"The Rev. Chloe Breyer, executive director of the Interfaith Center of New York, said the results are surprising and that while people may not always help others spontaneously, there are plenty of faithful who choose to be generous through tithing or social justice work.

'Can how they respond to a tragic situation they encounter on the street or see on TV be the only direct measure?' she asked, adding that 'to make a generalization of that nature about the religious seems somewhat extraordinary.'"
