No need to donate money to the poor, god will provide by raining manna from heaven and water from rocks. Oops! Thats not happening? Too bad the Africans weren't considered "chosen"

Simply giving money to the poor will not solve the global issue of poverty. What it will do instead is that it will render the money so useless that you help nobody at the end of the day.
In the same vein, solving world hunger is not as easy as simply dumping grain on countries with famine. That only takes care of short-term situtation, but it's akin to giving a fish to a person as opposed to teaching them to fish.
You want to know the REAL cause of poverty? You only need to look into the mirror. Our global economic system is structured in such a way in which the rich become rich on the backs of the poor on the 80/20 rule. Look at the shoes and clothes you wear, were they made in a sweatshop by a person who could not afford them with a month's pay?
Are you not working in an economic system that tells you to consume and spend and spend and spend? Do you think it's obscence that you have an environmental footprint 20 times that of the average person in the developing country? You consume movies, popular culture and what have you not that enforces all this.
So no, before making bombastic speeches about how saints are apparently not helping the poor, let us consider how we as each persons are actually the CAUSE of the problem.
Okaaaaaaaay........ so what do you suggest we should do to help these people ? Build more church ?

later i read an article whereby a reporter spoke to Indians from Calcutta and these poor people said Mother Theresa was a fraud.........according to them, she only helped to feed hundreds of poor people not the tens of thousands she claimed..............also, she seemed to spend more time in Europe than in India.............and also she lived in hotels and not among the poor people too................
"Ming Yi’s choice of hotels included five-star St Regis, The Regent, Four Seasons and Banyan Tree."
What was Mother Teresa's choice of hotels?

Don't know huh? Where is your proof that Mother Teresa is a fraud?
One of the five precepts is to avoid false speech.
You keep violating this buddhist code of ethics to attack Christians. Why do you instigate anti-Christian attacks?

You are foolish to believe them. You can test if Satan is false by signing a pact with him.

Rony has apogized to the head of the Buddhism.
Buddhism teaches about letting go. It's some buddhists that don't want to learn to let go.

One must always remenber that charity is not a piority in Christianity.Charity alone will not get you to heaven.
If our youngsters know the hardships suffered by Haitians in the earthquake,they will not want a mp3 player.

Nobody here says charity will get people to heaven.
As one pastor said "do not be so spiritually so high up there that one is of no earthly good".
