cause of the rich poor divide
-
then what sense does it make to associate being rich countries and christianity?Originally posted by davidche:The statement is most rich countries are christian countries.
Logic wld say that your quote doesnt make sense
christian countries ? so you mean they baptise the countries? -
yeah i know, but being saracastic also must be ethically correct also...Originally posted by iveco:I think Icemoon is just being saracastic. -
Actually, they just need to read the Bible more carefully. The teachings inside the Bible, especially those of our Lord Jesus Christ, are replete with references to God's special care for the poor.Originally posted by wisefool83:These people need to step out of the Church for a moment and just travel to see things for themselves. Perhaps read history books instead of only the bible.

Seriously, I find a very significant number of Christians not interested in this, and they rather evangelise than to help the needy.Originally posted by ObiterDicta:Actually, they just need to read the Bible more carefully.

He obviously failed statistics, confusing correlation with causation.Originally posted by skyfoo:christianity. this is by the words of a christian my friend met this morning. he highlighted to my friend that the rich countries are mostly christian states while the otherwise for the poorer countries. one poor country he pointed out not practising christianity is thailand. he said that the numerous beggars there is the result of the belief of buddhism. yes, he's a christian carrying a bible promoting christianity

I'm afraid no one religion holds supremacy than the others in the world. Either your friend holds a naive view of the world or he/she is intending to promote his religion while putting the rest of the religion down. This not only harms the society fabric and create disorder in the world but certainly does not speak well of his religion. I urge your friend to get back to the right path and preach his religion with sincerity.
Equate wealth with religion is another flaw. The fundamental of true faith teaches us how to be morally upright and its our duty to contribute to mankind. Seeking religious refuge for wealth or hoping for a better life is not going to work. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. The governing principle of this world is bound by humanity, morality and law & order irregardless of religion. Religion tells us to have faith but the ultimate fate lies in your hard work.
