WE are to help the starving people in Africa... We (humans) are the ones responsible in the first place. However, WE cannot even take care of the starving, homeless people in our own backyards. Some yes, but most people could be doing so much more to help, and if we are not willing to do what we can do to help, we have no leg to stand on in blaming Christ or God... when we a) do not listen to that One, who has told us how to live, how to treat one another, etc... and if his edicts were followed, we would not have the problem that we have; and b) have allowed such things to come to pass due to our (humanity's) greed, decisions, or apathy.

Its not fair to change the target of the conversation. We are discussing why GOD doesnt listen to the starving kids in Africa. Sure others in more fortunate countries can help, i totally agree. We cant blame man for being greedy and then claim God listens and helps everyone when that is clearly a false statement. Sure humans are greedy and selfish and thats the real cause of many of the worlds problems. But our actions are also the cause of the good things in the world. We are lucky that our ancestors built up our countries to be rich and prosperous. God had absolutely nothing to do with that. In fact God has never helped anyone. Looka tthe world the most religious places also happen to be the worst. I dont believe in Islam, but one must respect the fact they really follow what they believe. Unfrotunately they dont know whats in the koran , but that doesnt change the fact they are strict in the stupidities they believe. Does god help them no, religion is a curse and creates their pathetic social environment. Who needs a god like that, i dont, novody does.
