    Money will never help people, it will spoil them. That's why the worst way to help African people is to send them money instead of help them to build an infrastructure.
    Food can help if the person is very hungry, but it's just one time deal, if you keep giving them food, you 'll create slaves.
    The best help that you can give to a person is to give the Right Knowledge (and not religious one, because True Religion is not to convert other people into your religion, but to assist them, be the silent hero, as Jesus was doing it - unfortunately that was distorted by the contemporary religion...). Educate people on how to do good things, how to make money (to survive, not just for the sake of it) and how to respect the living being.

    For example, US government does almost nothing to help people with lower income to get a good education, so they can support themselves without welfare system. If you are in US, the best help you can do is educate 5 people about personal finance, so they save money instead of spend them on an expensive cellphone and then not have money to pay the bills.

    The level you should reach is the peace of mind. When you reach that level, you will hear and see the God's presence.

    Did you read the original scriptures? Can you share with us your understanding of those? I'm not mocking you, I'm serious about your opinion. I would like to understand your point of view and your believes.

    You see, it really does not matter is you are christian, methodist, catholic, etc. They all refer to the same scriptures, same signs of God. And the end is the same - wooden box in wet dirt - for a human body, and two options for a human soul...

    I suppose he was talking about education.

    It would be nice to reveal also the beauty of our planet, the dangerous results of the Global Pollution, the needs and beauty of the Universal Health Care system and the beauty of the Universal Education system. That will save a LOT of lost souls.

    I have that faith, I also would like to have faith in people as the creation of God.

    I can see air, that's the problem :D

    For all the atheists that dont believe in god. Do you believe that our universe just existed or are universe came into existence by chance? That order came about by chaos? How do the cells in our bodies keep themselves attacghed to each other? By chance? If no, then how did these laws of the universe come into existence?
    Just ask yourselves all of this and dwell on it for a bit.

    As far as who is going to hell or heaven, i myself am a catholic and i dont believe that just catholics or christians have a chance at heaven.
    I believe my god is an understanding and compassionate god who can look into the contents of peoples hearts and see either the goodness in tghem or the evil in them. There are many people that grew up in different religious environments then i did so god takes everything into consideration.

    Remember jesus showed all christians that no law is totally unbreakable and it can sometimes depend on the circumstances on whether ur supposed to break these laws or not.

    The same way you think that the creation of the universe can be derived from a magical omnipotent fellow, which by the way, where was he before he created it, some people may think that the universe was created by the big bang. I am not an atheist, I am an agnostic. I just dont feel like ther is any sound proof of the existence or unexistence of a GOD or GODS. Nevertheless, I have serious problems with religion as an ideology. I rather question the nature of things, instead of just eating up everything that another person (the people who wrote the bible, popes, relatives, teachers) told me when I was a child. I suppose some people are just too insecure to live a happy life without knowing that someone bigger is taking care of them. That is why religion is an excellent business. Feed off the insecurities of the masses. Beautiful.

    the attheists don't say there is no god, they just say that if there's a god it will have nothing to do with whichever holy crap that we know, so all religions are wrong and false.

    But I have a question to believers, why god is such a sadistic moron??? Think of the many ways to die suffering, the natural catastrophes and those born with disabilities, so fuck your god, and if it did exists why doesn't it kill me? He's a little coward, so fuck him and you too!

    Surely you don't have to reveal the beauty of God or Jesus....for if that beauty is universal, and if we have faith, then we will all see it on our own.
