Wow, you guys are sure contributing to mankind by singing and praising a lord!!!
people have been singing and praising the lord for yrs. no need to poke fun. do people make fun of u for not believing in god? i doubt it most likely they look/talk down on u.
singing and praising the lord? contributing to mankind? maybe not mankind, but to 1 individual... believe it or not, but a cousin of mine's who was falling away from the church got real sick. doctor's out here in the U.S. didn't know what was wrong with him, so he flew out to Tonga to get some help, but there was no help out there either. he's parents asked us (the church) if we could pray and fast for him, so the church did. my cousin who was falling away from the church then became active in the church and regained his faith. he was given a blessing by an elder and ever since he's been back to normal. funny 'cause now he's back to sinning.
people are known to flip script's religion or no religion.

Dont you think it would help alot more if you didnt go to church and do something positive for the human race?
are u doing something positive for the human race? if not, u have no business asking that question. if so, then more power to you. and believe it or not, but church has saved a lot of people's live's who were falling away and were gonna do something bad. yes people who go to church do/has done things they're not supposed to (cuss, kill, adultry, etc...), but so do people who don't go to church.

I sinsirely doubt that. Ya they might go to church and little religious bbq's or picinics or whatever, but are they contributing anything positive for mankind? Not likely, and if so, very little.
church has kept people off the street, help homeless people (shelter or food), saved live's, house run-a-ways, open recreation center's for teenager's, church has turned criminals (murderer's, drug dealer's, etc...) into good people (people who say religion made them do bad things are joke's).
those might mean "very little" to u, but to the next man it could mean a hella of a lot.

as far as hospital's being built before churches... y not build them at the same time? do u really think that their are people graduating from medical school's fast enough to occupy these hospital's? maybe in some area's. while there are no hospital's y not build a church where people can go to feel safe (if there's no homeless shelter as well). at homeless shelter's there are usually more church member's working there or at least people who believe in a hight power, then athiest (because a lot of churches give food to the needy) --> (refferring to ur statement about doing/contributing something positive for the human race).
^^^ i had a better statement than that, but my mind kinda went ballisitic as i started typing.
i have stories for days about religion a lot i forgot wanna hear 'em?
