Donations to groups and politicians that discriminate against people the church doesn’t like isn’t charity, it’s pushing an agenda. Teaching people to believe in mythology and reject science that contradicts the mythology is not education, it’s indoctrination. Largest actor for social justice? Are you high? Is enabling and protecting pedophile priests your idea of social justice?
And even if what you’re trying to say were true, which it laughably is not, then that would still be the “two hands working” part of the quote. Well adjusted people don’t need threats of punishment or promises of rewards from some imaginary diety to do good things for other people. They do good things because it’s the right thing to do. Prayer is the worthless act that people who don’t actually want to help use to pretend like they’re helping without actually doing anything.
