But i help those I can but still do not believe in God.

Why then do people assume I'm a Christian? Just because I don't drink, smoke, or live a life of wild parties and sex? Because if someone does me wrong that I just say "he does the wrong to himself, not to me." ? That's common sense stuff. You don't need to believe in God to live like that. It's easy. matt
