First world people statistically do not even need god anymore because were all better off than the third world. 

Just go to your nation's capital to see how shitty your country actually is.....I'd rather be in Haiti than half of that city.

Yes, because the capital city of a nation is a true representation of the nation as a whole. [Image: free-rolleye-smileys-323.gif]

It's easy to call for peace. How about he uses some of the resources of the Catholic church to actually do something.

That might not go over too well considering the impact of the Catholic Church historically in the Middle East.

It would still be better than him sitting his ass in a golden throne telling others how to act.

So...just as an example..if you moved from Podunk, to DC....you would have a similar experience even moving within the states.  You might have just come from Podunk, Earth...to the Big City, is all.  Large numbers (like large pops) drive towards an average.

DC aint the south, btw.....DC is pretty much universally hated by "the south" - it's one of our strongest traditions.

I spent time in Alabama, North Carolina, Virginia (those people are scary), and visited Florida.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
