Yeah, I've seen them. They go from church to church with that humble poor me story. I visited one of them and they had all kinds of donations that I had to work for and they got free. Awww hell... they had a good thing going for them..lol.

Benjamin Franklin is famous for his quote "God helps those who help themselves".

What most people don't realize is that he was an atheist as satirist. I have often wondered if he wasn't poking fun at Christianity in a way they would not understand and love.
Was his actual intent to say "Get off your butt because God isn't going to do anything for you."? Did he get much pleasure out of the fact that Christians were actually quoting him?

Personally am very disturbed when people live their lives as if mythology was real. People whom do have flown airplanes into buildings, though thankfully most live moderate lives and are good neighbors. If I really do care about them I feel obligated to at least try to get them to ask questions about their beliefs for themselves.

I have a friend who just called me today. Why don't I call? I can't tell her she is extremely shallow as she brags about some private chef who comes to her home for dinner. She's constantly posting all this god stuff on FB praying for this and that without going out and getting a job to pay her bills. Tried explaining to her that Jeff Sessions wants to criminalize her legal cannabis program and she doesn't know or care about politics which could affect her life. We have been friends for over 25 years but I am on a different level these days.

I can't deal with those types of people. They have no place in my life.
