They were so happy and appreciative. The priest told me while I may be a non believer I acted in the ways of christ.
Every bite was cooked or given to the poor. Had a nun hug me so tight with tears in her eyes telling me wifey and Dad in law god bless us ect ect
It was a great feeling. To this day we receive emails and even a letter thanking us.

In Cebu I met the old priest who was running the church wifey went to as a child and her family still go to today. A kind gentleman, never been in any trouble. A very humble man who lives a simple life. We went to the church and he was out front eating his lunch sharing it's with some poor kids and the woman I guess the kids mom. He gave them little biscuits and wrapped candies. Divided up his sandwich and gave most of that away ass well. He told them later he would have some rice and soup and they were welcome to have some.
Talking to him I asked if they were members of his church. He said no but empty bellies know no church. He wished he could only offer more. That he often continues on hungry as he shares even his lunch with the poor. Wifey, her family along with him and his deacon tried I guess converting me. I told him that I couldn't believe in god because no matter how you frame it there simply is no proof. He told me all thoughtful people doubted god or had moments their faith was shaken.
Obviously he didn't make me believe in the magic man in the clouds lol but his generosity and compassion even for those kids and their mother who weren't catholic made me respect him. I had Dad in law get his truck and I went out and bought hundreds of kilos of rice along with crates of canned foods soups lots of dried milk candy ect. Dropped about $800 total on it all and we had to make two trips to get it all there.

Atheist Lucy,
The way of Christ is not about grandstanding and blowing your own trumpet!!! God through Christ has made several commandments for man to follow!!! You have to follow everything and not just just what you to!!! Just following a few of the commands but disregarding the rest will not make man attain salvation!!!

You see Elias? Even as an atheist I am more christian then you. Think about that for a second. what you and your cult can't grasp is that being a christian isn't about what church you walk into but how you live your life.

All you ever do on here is grandstand and blow the trumpet bragging about all the wealth and glorious expensive temples of inc. You are a hypocrite sir exactly what jesus hated the most.
I didn't brag those poor people gave me far more then I gave them. Something you would understand if you or your cult gave a damn about anyone other then yourself.
I was happy to help the people in cebu who could have used that food. Only a maniac like you would find what I did as negative.
See unlike you and your cult I helped people based on their need not what church they attended or didn't attend.

Ohhhhh so when I mention helping out some people in need I am grandstanding but when you rant and rave screaming racist comments and brag about the show of materialism of inc that's not grandstanding?
You indeed are a programmed drone unable to think or reason for yourself.
Don't forget to bow low to the atheist chinese ok? Bow low to those atheists.
