What if you were one of those who can't get enough food for themselves and their families and have no hope of climbing out of their despair. Maybe the best thing they can look forward to is dying and leaving their miserable existence.Those really in that situation couldn't care less about god or intellectual debates about the meaning of life. They are too busy with their daily lives.

They are in that situation because they are too stupid to unite and claim their rights, they have hope in this world provided they can find the courage to face their truth.
You sound like a spoiled brat. Have you ever been around desperate people and actually talked with them? Boy do you need to get out into the world and put some faces on those "stupid" people. I'll tell you from first hand experience. They need jobs, shelter, food and clothing. They also want to know that they are somebody, and they have hope in God.
