Hooya writes "As a geek, who's been fortunate enough to have a decent career and other earthly wants and needs, I've recently begun contemplating giving back. Naturally, if I could help out a charity with some computer networking or web pages or even teaching people to use computers it would be a meaningful experience for all involved. There is one catch, however. Being an atheist I find it really hard to swallow that charities do good for people in need and then end up with 'God did this for you.' As if God was the only one capable of doing charitable deeds. I'd like to believe that it is the good in people that brings out the compassion towards others and that all are capable. What are some of your favorite charities that are 'less than divine' (non faith-based). Is there such a thing? Or is it time for IPU/FSM charity?
P.S. 'Enlightenment' seems to be the only topic that fits. if you disregard the original intended meaning."
