>So why are there "herds", "flocks", "troupes", "prides", "gaggles" and "tribes"? I guess these co-operative communities haven't heard how the "selfish gene theory" proves they'd be better off not co-operating.

Actually, they have. Would you like me to explain or would you rather do the topic justice and find out for yourself. Get Richard Dawkin's "The Selfish Gene" if the later.

>Have you ever volunteered for a soup kitchen or arranged kids books or warm clothing for a single-parent family of 5 that has had to go without?

Yes. I serve the homeless at a church on Christmas.

>Because they do not make a big song and dance about it, you will be unaware how many US church communities have built hospitals and schools that have transformed whole regions in the 3rd world.

So you're assuming if there isn't a flashy Mt. Dew style commercial on television I do not know what churches really do?

>I assume you plan to take all this over since churches are so awful?

Did I say churchs are "so awful", Joe Bob? I'm disappointed.
