i have recently been thinking of why prisoners are often visited by pastors and not atheists?, and i have also wondered what an atheist would tell to comfort someone who is in prison.. for instance, what will you recommend for an inmate to read if you visit him or her in a prison cell?, "god is not great- how religion poisons everything?

" or "what does the bible really teach"?..

for the record, i am not a native english speaker, infact i recently just started studying english about 18months ago.

so apologies for any error you may encounter in the process of making sense of my logic.. i am from a small village in a destitute and war ravaged african country, 80 percent of people in my town live on less than 50cent in a day and myself included, no roads, no hospital, no public institution, no social welfare support, no national security institutiion, nothing, just tribal factions exchanging agricultural produce and i have always wondered why jehovah would have to put the preaching work ahead of a poverty eradication program at this desperate time of our existence.. .

it was an emotional adventure on finding answers to that question that led me here.

Welcome. Nice to have you here! Only 18 months studying English? Wow. I am trying to learn German and I have been at it for 2 years and I could barely write the way you do in English. Congratulations.
