Doesn't care?
He said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 5 - The Beatitudes
It sounds to me like he holds those people in the highest regards.
so in other words, a child whom inherits great wealth but proves himself to be the most proverbial Christian possible is lower than a impoverished boy whom dies by the age of 7 due to starvation believing in a pantheon of gods? Twisting things myself I may admit, but too much of the scriptures point out bias towards groups. It's ok to murder children under the age of accountability. It's ok to force a king to subdue his people to countless plauge based on pride (which the Hebrew god invented), its ok to lie and say "you have the will to choose" and then turn around saying how Lucifer, the fall, the Tribulations and the great white throne judgment was all according to plan and sealed in fate. It's ok that dictators pillage, rape, destory and slaughter countless millions because "god knows best". It's ok that hundreds of thousands die to desiese and slavery to the sudden invasion of Europeans of the native Americans. It's all ok. Mysterious ways indeed. "sigh"
