If so, I congratulate you. If not, I'd say a look at the man in the mirror would be a great place to start before opening up on Boy Alley.
Boy Alley, you are a wonderful person. I've blogged about you before, and I will undoubtedly do so again. This is going to be a blog entry for all the Christians to read and be challenged by.
You're a good man.

Yes, I do give away over 10% of my income. I also spend most my time - which I consider rather more important than money - doing what I can against poverty and human rights violations.
That isn't the fucking point here, though. Even if I had never given a single cent to charity in my life, the argument would still stand. There are many millions of people in this world whose lives could be vastly improved or even saved with shockingly little money. The needs of these people are almost entirely overlooked by the rich west.
Seriously, what kind of stupid-ass argument are you trying to make, anyway? "Libertine may well be a hypocrite, so people should not care about millions of peoples dying senseless deaths"? Great thinking
