God isn't feeding any hungry mouths; only people can do that.
I don' see why we should ask for the blessing of a god that has created a world where people starve to death and die of all kinds of hrrible diseases. That just doesn't make any sense at all.
I'd as soon invoke the tooth fairy to be honest.
Mixing religion and charity has always given me the creeps. It's taking advantage of weakened people and putting them in a situation that makes them emotionally indebted. It's not right.
Peace.

I decided not to cheat and use a web dictionary and ending up getting a couple words wrong. Although it still lets you go on.
And why the hell must people drag arguments about politics/religion given the slightest inclination. Keep your damn egos in check. It was a harmless comment because want it or not the majority of people in the world believe in a higher power.
My thesis is tied to these things. Nathan Keyfitz has said it best himself. Food aid should be used to avert famine. Continued "gift food" will only increase dependence. If there is not enough food to avert a single famine then why bother? Wouldn't it be best to let nature run its course?
Considering that stopping food aid unless it can spare a country from famine is unlikely the next best thing is limiting population growth as a prerequisite to food aid.
