Free will exists
Their starvation is caused indirectly by the free will of others (gluttony, greed, overpopulation).
God respects our free will and intervenes as little as possible. If he eliminated starvation and suffering, he'd be essentially elimating free will, because he would have to intervene constantly to prevent suffering. Almost all of his miracles (citation needed) serve a specific purpose, like to deliver a message. In the new testament at least, pretty much every miracle is used as an example or publicity stunt. Jesus didn't just go around healing every person in all of the levant without saying a word.
>>
>>1555395
They are starving due to acts of men and the societal situation around them that was caused by men
Free will allowed these children to starve, god allows men free will thus children starve

Free will isnt bad, but the choices that allowed that child to starve to that child and obviously to you are inherently bad

Who says its the materially poor that need help?
If a man is poor in disease do we consider him unwell?
You phrase your question so arrogantly and so confident of your fickle values, you imagine your life far superior merely because you have amassed an agglomeration of things in a society that tells you you're doing it right.
Yet none of us can escape the gnawing emptiness that comes with consumerism, materialism, and greed.
We are enslaved to our desires, these children have it good compared to us.
They do not succumb to nihilism or resignation as easily as we do.
Their wills are far stronger.
Even biology knows habitual well-being is not advantageous for an organism.

Essentially, you're an arrogant prick and these children merit the kingdom of heaven while you walk the path of destruction.

Spoken like a western faggot who's never been hungry. Poverty isn't noble, it's filthy and it's lawless and it will make you do things you're ashamed of. All morality goes out the window, as it is a luxury you can't afford. Thievery becomes trivial, murder becomes excusable. The "gnawing emptiness of consumerism" is nothing compared to the literal gnawing emptiness of having your body eat itself alive. Besides, consumerism the West hasn't been consumerist since the 90s. If you want to see consumerism, go to the middle east. As for "enslaved to our desires", well I can guarantee that whatever "desires" you may have (I doubt you have much if you are like most westerners) have much less control over you than a hungry man's. They "succumb" to nihilism by default because when you're starving you realise how superfluous all morals are. Even your patronising bullshit is proof of how spoiled you are.
>>
>>1556408
Yes.
>>1556431
sure.
>>1556466
Struck a nerve?
I'm guessing you didn't live under Communist oppression in Eastern Europe?
Morals are built ten times stronger in men who face challenge.
You sound like someone who is ashamed of their decadence, you should be.
You've never been hungry, I can tell because you speak of it as the worst fate a man can suffer.
Try going 3 weeks with nothing living in a flat on the bloc.
You'll realize that virtue is all you have left and you guard it dearly.

Decadent self loathing Westerner.
>>
>>1556466
>Poverty isn't noble
Those with nothing find happiness in the smallest things.
I think you're just a shitty human being.
Those with plenty go crazy when they lose it.
Perhaps you've been homeless and lost material property, try being born without it.
The gnaw of hunger is still the gnaw of decadence when the wealthy lose their wealth.
>>
>>1556530
>I'm guessing ...Eastern Europe?
No but I know many who did. I also highly doubt you're old enough to have done that.

>Morals are built ... who face challenge.
Bollocks. You've obviously never spent time around actually poor people. And no, Eastern Europe isn't poor. I've spent months in Eastern Europe. It's fine.

Everyone should spend some time in poverty, I do think it helps with perspective and it helps to make you a more generous and empathetic person. But that only works if you find some sort of sustainable living afterwards.

>You... decadence
I'm not decadent and neither is the average westerner. Like I said the most decadent place I've been is the middle-east, Lebanon in particular. I spent the same day talking to Syrian refugees with literally nothing and rich lebs who would spit on them from their sports cars.

>You've never... a man can suffer.
I have, it's not the worst fate obviously, but it puts things into perspective pretty quickly. Any sense of shame or modesty is the first to go, I used to pick breadcrusts from the bottoms of bins in public and laugh at the people who stared at me. Respect for property goes next, trespassing, stealing etc. Note that this goes two ways, people will start to respect you less and less.

>Try ... bloc.
I think a year without a flat or a block is worse than 3 weeks with your family and friends. I can't say though, the worst houses I've lived in, while being squalid, half-built mould ridden shitholes with no heating, were in the countryside, so I don't know the commie experience.

>You'll realize ... it dearly.
Or you'll turn into a junkie, alcoholic wife beating retard. It goes both ways.

>Decadent self loathing Westerner.
Western culture is the best that has ever existed. I'm far from self-loathing. The faggot I was replying to would lose his "noble savage" bullshit pretty quickly the first time some third world kid pulls a knife on him.

Starving children? That would imply God allowed them to survive infancy. What I want to know is why would God not prevent the rape of a baby? Or not help a newborn left in a dumpster? Those seem more like questions that I want answered.

I put in time at the local mission specifically because I know it makes their day when you look them in the eyes and treat them like humans. They find genuine happiness.
>the average westerner is not decadent
You do realize our entire society is based around acquiring material wealth? We are the definition of decadence.
People do respect you less and less, in a Western Materialistic society.....
It does put things into perspective, fortunately humans posses an innate morality within them and this is what they cling to when times get tough.
Watch "Chuck Norris vs Communism" to see what I mean.
>you turn into an addict or abuser
Let me guess, this mostly occurs when wealth is lost and not when one is born into a society where wealth is scare....
Western Culture is the best, however it is taking a sharp nosedive. Material wealth does not create happiness nor does it generate virtue.
Western Culture has lost its courage and thus its virtue, thus the loss of wealth (a fate almost as bad as death in Western eyes) makes men mad, makes them desperate.
Men who are born into poverty are far better off because everything they receive from then on is akin to a divine gift.
There was no noble savage. It was only the supposition that challenge builds character, in line with the old adage "Soft land breeds soft men."
In hardship you find far more interesting and complex characters, forged by challenge.
Most third world kids would turn violent when they take on the Western mindset of materialism.
Even here you posit that the "losing his bullshit" because he is faced with death is legitimate.
You are viewing it through a materialist lens, to materialists, death being the end of gain is truly the worst fate of all.
To one who is not a materialist, death is just another path, one that we all must take.

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

>>1558139

It doesn't work that way buddy. Also a lot of people just cave in and die when "in tribulations" so it obviously doesn't always produce hope. It sometimes produces death. Sometimes that death leads to sorrow and suicide.
>Jesus suffered more than humanity, collectively,

In this particular case, they mostly suffer due to Western egotism and the money-worshiping systems it has created. If you actually want a neat answer, human egotism and the worship of money - the root of all human evil - could very well be reconciled with any number of divine models.

But it's amazing how "the problem of evil" is ascribed to GOD instead of man. Especially in the current state of affairs where it's in the power of the people asking these dumb fuck questions to save literally everyone on Earth from starvation but they don't want to.

Did I say all of them were non-violent?
I was speaking of violence in the context of stealing and murder.
I doubt those aboriginal clans were anarchists at heart....
Use your brain.

>trivialize suffering because they have no explanation
Suffering makes men.
As iron sharpens iron.
Yes, of course a privileged westerner is going to have a hard time understanding poverty.
But do you remember how much harder it is for a rich man to go to heaven than a poor man?
We as westerners have this paradigm about being poor that its somehow the worst thing in the world, in a society that is materialistic this is true.
In a society that values happiness and contentment not by the means of greed or satisfaction of desire (take for instance Ethiopian christians) poverty is a non-issue, this life is not the only one.
Suffering is actually good, after any major war you'll see that societies take instant leaps in virtue.
Look at the 50s America, the model of the American dream, the origins of the civil rights.
One of the greatest times in this amazing country, right after a huge war.
It only stopped when we stopped caring about the wars and took soldiers and what they do for granted.

>the human psyche turns to god
Studies show it actually turns away from god when the going gets tough, just saying.
Its probably the nihilism pervasive in modern christianity, but ok, continue to explain away anything you don't like.
Why pursue truth?
No, really, if there is no god, wouldn't it better to believe there is?
I mean, there has never once been a secular society (historically) that has survived, all the religious ones, well, they dominated the world.

there is no evidence for the existence of any supernatural beings
even if such a being exists there is no evidence for it being good or bad to humans, there is no reason to believe that it would even care about humans

as such scientifically there is no reason to believe in any religious theory as they provide no proof other than emotional or personal "inner experiences", as such if you believe in the existence of a god or truthfulness of a religion you are either highly gullible, emotional or just flat out stupid

They are there so that people can find kindness in their hearts and give them things, while they are being tested on not growing entitleness out of the free stuff they recieve.

>"only the poor can be saved, poverty is pious"
>"we need to eradicate poverty"

>"suffering is good"
>"we need to alleviate the sufferings of the poor"

They're so spooked, and all the while they're being logically inconsistent. Literally "muh feels".
>>
>>1562922
>>"we need to eradicate poverty"

That's atheists who still believe in Modernity's promise of progress. Remember, Christ said, "The poor you will have with you always." Poverty isn't going away until the Second Coming.

I am the highest good so next time I rape your sister you'll know I'm not evil for doing it, because [hopefully] another anon will have told you I am the highest good!

topkek

yeah lets just give them bibles
>>
>>1562930
So gommunism is the second coming of Christ.
>>
>>1562930
Why has poverty decreased so much since society has become more secular, in that case?

When is the second coming, by the way haven't people been predicting it's arrival since Paul was spreading the word of the Gospel?
>>
>>1562956
Well, Bibles will help them get to Heaven when they die, so yes, that's actually a great idea.
>>
>>1555479
i hope that bird shits in her mouth
>>
>>1562960
We don't know when the Second Coming is. Jesus says it will come like a thief in the night.

Also, are you so sure poverty has truly decreased?
>>
>>1562965

Yes food to live < bibles of fairy tales
>>
>>1562979
They're not fairy tales, Anon, that's the entire point.

This is a gulf that really can't be breached, can it? You assume the Bible is false. I assume the Bible is true. From these two contrary positions we construct totally opposite worldviews. There's no talking to be done between us.
>>
>>1562990

Let's give the people the option of choosing food or bibles.

In fact lets put you in the position where you must give up either the bible or food. I think we all know what you would choose.

>muh
When people say """muh""" WTF are you trying to say???
Explain your argument cause I'll just leave the argument assuming I had better reason for my opinions .

nigga are you being serious? Europe has always been the heartland of Christianity, although not it's roots, but lets focus on it.

Pic related would be what the majority of people in England in the 1000s would be living in. Most of the people living in huts such as these, would be villeins which are basically the same thing as surfs. They would be slaves, with no power whatsoever and would serve the lord of the manor until they do they fucking died. These guys were at the bottom of the pyramid.

Now, let's compare these conditions to that of someone living in a council estate in england today. Well actually they're free, so why not a prison cell?

Seems a lot better to me...
