No, I don't want to prepare or compare volunteer notes; I don't brag about what I've done.
"It's kind of sad that people such as yourself don't understand how many more lives can be saved just by making sure you go about you business of being a good citizen in the country you reside in."
I am a good citizen in the country I reside in. Again, you don't know me that well, and I am not about to attempt to compare our individual contributions. You are a good citizen; good for you. So am I.
It helps when humans take care of other humans because I have no evidence for a 'loving' god that takes care of humans.
Traveler: God has been mighty good to your fields, Mr. Farmer.
Farmer: You should have seen how He treated them when I wasn't around.

All I'm saying is that being a good citizen is sufficient.
I shouldn't be made to feel guilty if I don't help out people thousands of miles away from me...even though I do. Those are not the primary indicators of a good person.
I don't care whether you have evidence for God or not. If you think that happiness is here on earth as is, then that's OK with me.
However, if you are thinking that mankind is overall pretty miserable, then you do it no favors by pretending they don't have evidence just because you don't.
I's a waste of time paying attention to the bad, which will always be here especially if it's something as slight as something one just disagrees with.
