ToxicAvenger,
I do agree with you that you are more noble and good if you are self motivated to do good expecting no reward and without fear of hell. Christians are not motivated to do good out of fear of hell either. Like you, Christians do good without expecting a reward in exchange. However, Christians are motivated by the love of Jesus Christ and you are not. So that makes you more noble and good. It really does. Now, all you need is faith in Jesus Christ and you'll have forgiveness and eternal life too.
Now, I have some questions:
"mostly never getting laid" is your definition of being good, or doing good?
Below I have listed only three of the many Christians who have selflessly given their life and made contributions to humanity. Keep in mind that these men and women did all of this expecting no reward, and they got none. They were not motivated by fear of hell. They were motivated by nothing less than Jesus Christ's love in their hearts.
Can you name one atheist who has done anything like this, one whose life comes even close to the life of these Christians?
Charlotte Digges "Lottie" Moon (1840-1912) was a Southern Baptist missionary to China who spent 40 years helping the Chinese. She weighed only 50 lbs at her death, having given away all she had to aid the starving Chinese. She was formally educated with undergraduate and masters degrees in education. She spoke numerous languages: Latin, Greek, French, Italian and Spanish; and, while in China, she rapidly learned fluent Chinese. She was also fluent in reading Hebrew.
George Müller (September 27, 1805 – March 10, 1898), a Christian evangelist and coordinator of orphanages in Bristol, England, cared for a total of over 100,000 orphans in his life. He was well-known for his constant faith in God and for providing an education to the children under his care, to the point where he was accused of raising the poor above their natural station in life.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (February 4, 1906 – April 9, 1945) was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian and participant in the German resistance movement against Nazism. He was involved in plots planned by members of the Abwehr (the German Military Intelligence Office) to assassinate Adolf Hitler. During World War II, Bonhoeffer played a key leadership role in the Confessing Church, which opposed the anti-semitic policies of Adolf Hitler. He was among those who called for wider church resistance to Hitler's treatment of the Jews. He was arrested in April 1943 after money used to help Jews escape to Switzerland was traced to him. He was arrested, imprisoned and eventually hanged, just before the end of the Second World War in Europe.
