Hostage to fear

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Theorectically if a person is a good Christian and true believer he wouldn't expect his favorite ethnocentric deity to feed starving children.  He would take steps to feed the starving children himself as stated in the fairy tale.  If you know there's a need and if you don't take steps to fill that need how can you expect mercy from your deity when you never followed his commandments about feeding and clothing the needy as stated in Matthew 25:42-46?

Ahhh... but you see... that's a little much to ask.  You see, I'm after blessings.  I earned those blessings.  Those blessings have my name on them.  I can't share a blessing as illustrated by Jacob and Esau.  Surely... all the things that come from a blessing belong to me and can't be shared

Scientists do that sort of thing.  Work for meaningless pay for the betterment of our species.  Clergy make you feel good about ignoring man's problems.

Spacetime you are the shiggles. I believe a rep is in order...

Meh.  Not really.  Everyone poops.  Tone it down... there's too much kindness and humanity in here.  You atheists have a reputation to keep.

Well, I suppose if people get hungry enough they can eat their own children in accordance with biblical rules and it will be OK.
