Can't agree with you there. Christians help out in a lot of countries. Our church built and supports an orphanage in Africa. I, myself, gave a large(for me) sum of money to drill a well for drinking water in one of these countries. Not because I am so "good", but because I am Christian. I believe in what Jesus Christ taught. I am not wealthy but I could afford to share some of my savings to bring a little comfort to people in need.
