[quote:johnlear:MV8xNDY4MjE0XzMwMTE0ODM3XzU0NTg0Q0U5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 7767662:MV8xNDY4MjE0XzMwMTEwNTUwXzFCREM3QUM4] Mr Lear, This all sounds good for those living in a country where they have basic needs met..like food and water, shelter etc. We have the luxury of sitting around working on our souls while the the rest of the world goes down the tubes. What about those millions born in Africa that only live a few horrible months before they starve to death? Are they supposed to be learning to live with "integrity and without envy and greed" too? Rather hard to be greedy or envious when no one has anything... This doctrine reminds me of the "religious prosperity" movement of the US...it works fine when there is prosperity to be had, but does not work anywhere else in the world where the majority live on less than $2 a day. [/quote] Your 'majority' may be 'paying' for past misdeeds. This is probably not their first rodeo. Yes, they may be learning about "integrity without envy, hate or greed" but it may be taking them longer. But nobody does time unless they deserve it and Africa is particuarly suited for those who do. And those who live only a few horrible monthes you should remember that that 'they' may not be the ones learning the lesson. In which case 'they' may not even have a soul to work on. [/quote]
