You know all those things they advertise late at night, to help childeren in africa by buying statues and junk. Even though at least half the money is probably going to building more churches or in their pockets is it still good tha they are out there helping 3rd world countrys?

Christianity is a large part of the AIDS problem in Africa. Moralistic preachers who spout forth about the evils of using a condom mean that millions are having unprotected sex. Okay so the said preachers can argue that at least when the people die from Aids they will go to salvation. However I regard it as disregard for human life and manslaughter. Hmm I seem to remember something about there being a commandment about not killing people. Okay so going by that theory: the poor unfortunates who have AIDS will die and go to heaven... and the preacher will be condemned to hell. Ironic isn't it?

Bad,
Because if that money was going to the Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières, or any of the other non-religions NGOs all the money would go to helping the people. There is no nutritional value in a bible. It is not a useful building material. People need to learn to help themselves and not expect some defunct war god to fix their problems for them.
