Prayer?

[Reforged]

In most cases kids are starving because of corrupt governments who use food as a weapon. We couldn't feed the kids no matter how much we want to or try. Your deity, on the other hand, being omnipotent and all powerful, could feed these starving kids without so much as lifting a finger. So don't go trying to push off starving kids on us. If I was all powerful and omnipotent I would feed every one of them. But I'm sure you'll have some pathetic excuse to let your "loving" deity off the hook.

Suppose God feeds every hungry person in the world. What are we (you and me) likely to do? Well, stop working of course! If God will intervene and supply my every need, why must I do anything? Let Him care for us hand and foot. In the meantime, we are turning into selfish monsters who won't do anything for others because we aren't doing anything for ourselves. God wants to inspire love in us, and that is one good product of suffering. Now if you want to allow a clause like "God will only feed those who cannot help their situation", then consider who could help them--other people. Or to put it another way, who could step in and prevent people from getting food. At some point you infringe upon free will. If I want to lock someone in a dungeon, who is God to magically place bread in that dungeon? How dare he interfere with my life! And presto--half the world still hates God.

What the fuck are you on about? If hunger and other necessities were cured and catered for we'd focus on expanding our knowledge and making life better for everybody.
There would be far more to do. We'd be free to innovate and push our limits, we might even perfect space travel in time if concerns like that disappeared.
Are you seriously telling me that didn't occur to you? You'd just stop working? Are your aspirations for mankind that low?
Fucking hell, no wonder you're religious.
