This is just another 'My beliefs are right, yours are wrong' thread. Nothing unique, just the same ol' bickering from people who think they're smarter than others because they, just like everyone else, thinks their beliefs are correct.
I stated a REAL problem. We need more humanists/humanitarians in the world.

To all the posters in this thread, what prevents anyone from helping the child pictured?
It's as easy as admitting that it is because of economic systems we worship.
Every society which uses a value system for goods and services applies worth to the essence of the fruits of the earth and their own labor. Because of the greed and power of some, everyone is forced to use this system and therefore some will be fed and others will starve, all economic systems is a pyramid.
By using money you are actually contributing to this child's death.
Now, to answer the question, why did God allow this to happen, perhaps it is to draw the line in the sand between him and you by showing you an image of what we are actually doing to the children of the world.
I bet God would come down and play a game of cards with you if we gave up using money to control the universe.
true... but i was trying to prove a point using a very real example of the third world...
what are your thoughts on the subject bigbert???
