ProbeEight, there is such a concept as context.
For one, a lot of your quotes were injunctions from the Old Testament and part of the Old Covenant.
These were done away with when Jesus died on the cross, and we are under the new covenant where a lot of those rules were never copied across.
With regard to philanthropy, the 19th century reformers were motivated by their faith to assist their fellow human beings.
Can you give me examples of well known atheists or humanists who have done the same motivated by their beliefs?
