"Oh? And you contribute to an agency called "Loaves and Fishes"? "

Sure. They do good work, wherever they are. The Bible exists. I agree with its social teachings, as I agree with Jesus' social teachings. It's very well done and represents the culmination of social mores up to the time Jesus lived.

I can do that without believing in the divinity of Jesus. Wise teachers leave behind wisdom, and wise men listen to wise teachers. That I do not believe in any sort of supernatural entity does not mean that I do not believe in the wisdom of wise men.

I'm not sure most people would agree with that statement. After all, Jesus was scourged and crucified for his teachings. Not much of a reward for promoting the current social mores.
