Or Is Tim simply praising God for His win as ha has been instructed to do?
Quote: Your response doesn't at all answer this question, it just shifts the blame and asserts that it's not God's problem to help these people.The answer to the question the orginal poster sought is found in the Parable of the talents. Long story short the master when away and left us incharge of His estate. To each He gave a responsiablity. (Feeding the hungery is the responsiablity of all of us to a degree, but more specifically of those who see a great need. They have this responsiablity for if we see an need like this it is up to us to fill or do our part to fill that need.) when the master returned a rewarded all of the faithful servants who honored what was given to them too care for, and punished the one who burried his 'responsiablity' in the sand and did nothing with what he was given.

Especially if their hyprocrisy demans an account from God to do something when they themselves have done nothing.

OH *right*. Because there aren't systems in place to give them food and medicine which we regularly donate to.
Well done Drich, you just demonstrated why every person here is more morale than your fictional God.
Are these "systems" (Most Christian in orgin I might add) enough? do they feed everyone in need? Do they have all the funding they need? Are they with out need for volunteers, medical supplies, trained construction workers to doctors? Or is there more to be done? Enough to include someone like you Ralphie, and your skill set? Or is complaining that a God you do not believe in, is not doing what you think He is supposed to do. Is that enough to fill the stomache of that kid and the thousands like him?
If you do not believe in God then how can you judge a "Non existant being" For doing the exact same thing you yourself is doing? Isn't that hypocritical?

No.
Then simply read the 20 or so pages of dialog and you will be well versed!

These people are farmers, you know. All your fucking god has to do is make it rain.
I guess that is too much for him, huh?
Many who are suffering are displaced farmers who are held up in refugee camps, and if it did rain (as it does here) it would make things much worse.
