"Selfishness"

I think every single person in the World is 100% selfish, yes even charities because ultimatly are these charities not being selfish because if there going to be nice and helpful there guarantied a place in heaven.

Unless there is actually a non religious charity.

This topic was popular for all the wrong reasons.



i.e. pointing out what a buffoon Gigs is.

Does it seem to anyone else like he hasn't read a word anyone has typed in this topic ?

Gigs;
1)Everyone does everything for a reason. Your heart pumps blood around your body so that it is kept alive.

2)Not all charities are religious, not all charity workers are religious.

3)No one has posted anything that remotely backs up your "they want to go to heaven" statement.

Hear hear.

You have not proved anything. You have no proof. Hell you don't even use basic logic. You just make false assumptions that don't really matter anyway. This is a classic example of a newbie posting a thread that tries to be a serious discussion to get respect but is full of prejudiced crap.
This is garbage. The vast majority or charities, as pointed out by others here, are not religious. Your point on everyone being selfish is not new in the slightest, I knew this from the age of 5. And finally, you defeat your own point at the end of this post but practically saying how it doesn't matter anyway. You are ill informed and this whole thing was rubbish. Before you say that I have nothing useful to say, well nor do you. The differance is I don't claim that my drivel is actually useful.

Now, I bid you Adeiu.

It doesnt really matter but I just proving that they are doing it for a reason, which is that they ultimatly want to go to heaven. But it doesnt really matter because their doing more then the rest of us.

Two things, firstly, why do assume all people who work in charities are religious and secondly, why does it matter?

Yeh these charities aren't religious but i bet the people working for them are.

Really, not everyone is selfish because there's an African proverb that says "if you've catered for me till I know have teeth, then I will also care for you till yours get out." So I really believe that not all men are selfish

Heh. For the record, I promise I wasn't boasting; just stating a fact about my life.

You're right though; nowt worse than someone determined to remind everyone of their good deeds...

I also agree with what you said 'cos helping someone is a good thing but it becomes bad when you boast about it. At least it also cancels out selfishness as you share with others what you have.
