Worse. How many rationalists can honestly say, "my own life is as bright and happy as I could make it"? Why go for holy causes when you can't fix your own life - maybe it's a compensation mechanism, as Eric Hoffer suggested? Honestly the seduction community comes out looking better in this respect.
If you donate money to a cause then obviously it's an important part of your life and you believe that the donation makes it brighter and happier.
Not so.
