If you're talking about people who live in countries where crops have failed due to lack of rain, I'm afraid I'm guilty of thinking thank goodness I don't live there, which is a very selfish attitude. Look at parts of southern England and how they suffer from 'drought' and yet it rains there every year! What must it be like in a country where it hasn't rained for over a year and longer?

What's your answer? Tell them to work for a living so they can buy food instead of growing it? So where would they buy it from even if there were jobs for them to do?

Whenever I start to feel like I wish I had more money or to envy people with bigger houses/cars/gardens/caravans etc etc etc I remind myself that compared to a large portion of this earth's population I am living in luxury and there but for the grace of God go I.

I agree Willow really we are so lucky here. I watched the news the other week and it showed the people up in the mountains of pakistan were the snow completely covered the floor, and all the families had were broken holey tents were 12 people had to sleep in them with wet covers and blankets. It actually showed the children shivering and when they went to bed at nite they were frightened to sleep as not all would wake up in the morning.

Just a couple of quotes that go well together I think. Surely it would only take a wave of His Almighty hand and those children would be warm and fed.

Use more petrol, burn more coal, the CO2 emmisions and global warming will soon have their little tootsies warm again, no need to disturb the omnipresent one, he's too busy listening to the selfish prayers of all the westerners.

Gosh a nearly religious moment from one of accywebs resident atheists!

It seems a little odd that an atheist would have a nun for a girlfriend. Are you rescueing her from starvation or was that just a little thread wander? Wears the soap.

Hedging my bets in case god is in a bad mood, I don't mind if he smites me for not believing in me but I would hate to have him think I didn't try hard enough and allowed a woman to go to waste!

Indeed he could, but that wouldn't really help any of us to learn not to be selfish. He doesn't interefere because he promised he wouldn't. He does ask that we act on his behalf, and some of us do. I don't claim to have all the answers. I don't believe anyone does, but I do believe that one day we'll have a better understanding of what it was all about when we see it from his point of view.
