God pretty much promotes charity. Why do you think these people aren't charitable without church activities? Do you follow them around constantly. Do they claim to know as much about your life as you do about theirs?
Well, his side of the story is he knows lots of church that aren't like the ones you describes, so you're like nu-uh because you do know churches like that and stuff. And then you jumped to telling him how he's a hypocrit and all christians were and how all churches are.
Well, come to the east coast of the US and take a look around. Come to the east coast and tell him these Christians aren't good and honest people.
...
61% of christians surveyed by Time magazine think god wants them to be prosperous. I suppose the other 39% live on the east coast?
Most if not all religions are against materialism. YOu turn on the tv...and it litterally preaches materialism. By default...i'm going to have to say for the most part...TV teaches a doctrine that is against our general religious beliefs.
What do people think?
not just materialism but a lot of Tv (esp here in the UK) seems to serve up hostility, incivility and general rudeness on a minute-by-minute basis
i say switch off your television!

And, btw, according to christianity, god does not teach humility and charity. He teaches worship and calls it humility and charity.
