The whole world is to blame....An accumulated effect of all our negative, hateful, selfish thinking emotions and such....and it attracts the negative things that happens, but not all......Science has now been able to measure invisible emotions coming from large cities.....yes, they have....It's been on the Science Channel.

If we are talking about that christian god that is in many ways limited, as it is a being separated from us, almost an individual being, and some even imagine him like a old man, even having a human form. Then, I agree with you. I think christianism deals more with politics than spirituality, and to solve this problem about the starvation in africa I think it will be better if we think in a socio-political way, than a religious way. My opinion is that the whole world is to blame, like debbiejo said, and it is just a socio-political problem.
Debbiejo as wisdom.....the Bible said so.....hehehe......She told me so... 😄
OH....don't know of any sites......just saw it on the Science channel.....
They had these special monitors set all up over the whole world...and it would ONLY register when people were in one accord in their thinking...
they gave examples like at Christmas and other holidays, when Princess Diana died, 911, and others.....when they tried it at a soccer game, it didn't work cause the people were DIVIDED....not in one accord.....
Guess you'd have to do a search on the net about it.

I didn´t understand ? Do you think God do not allow us to suffer ? If it was true, then there will not be suffering, and free will. I think it is our choice, not God´s choice.
It's a choice......But still tragedies do happen....But if you look at it a different way, like death,.....it's a far better place when you finally shed your skin......though leaves the rest of us missing them.... 🙁
I'm saying we are responsible for our problems(mostly), god allowed it, to help us in the end. Think of a spoiled child.
Regardless god wouldn't put us through anything we couldn't handle.
Like a friend said, if a dog runs away on its own free will, then the dog shouldn't cry to its master,"why are you making me suffer". when the owner welcomes him back anytime with open arms. At that point the master is allowing the pet to do so, thus its that pet's fault for not seeking help.
People still don't go to church on mothers day, because thier mother died, and is now with god. I try to explain to them, THAT, is the best time to come to church and see god.

I MOSTLY AGREE WITH Shakyamunison, BUT GOD DOES PUNISH PEOPLE, LIKE A PARENT PUNSHING A CHILD.
So God punishes people? And what about rewards and love? Christians says he does that, but I don't see it. Where is the pat on the head, the "you did good". Because I must admit at my cynical times I see no evidence of God's "Good Grace". Or anything to indicate that he is doing anything to help, which, as I have said before, I would expect if he is real, truly powerful, and truly concerned with humanities well being.
