As I mentioned earlier in one of my posts, I believe God does not involve himself in the wordly affairs - so he is neither responsible for finding someone's lost key, or helping TimTebow throw a pass, or solve world hunger. It's all up to man to use the God-given gifts to solve these problems.
how convenient. so, he created people with all this divisiveness and is now sitting back with a scotch and a cigar enjoying the chaos? well if it's all the same, i'll use my "god-given" gift to think you are hallucinating.
when you generalize and broaden the idea with terms like "world hunger", you minimize the sting. look at that individual kid there, why didn't he get to any god-given gifts? perhaps, not feed the kid directly, but put it in someone else's heart to see that that child eats and often.
