You can be a member of the local chess club and still be kind and help the homeless
People are human beings and in general don't do something for nothing
People who go to church and pray do so because they want to get to this place called heaven
They help the poor because they think it will make God think they are good people and he will look after them
Some bloke who is on the dole and gives a quid to a homeless person is every bit as good a person as the couple all dressed up singing in church on a Sunday
My view is there probably isn't a god but if there is I will have done enough to have be let into his paradise
