• So then yes you are either that bigoted or the people around you are abnormally indescent. Most people won’t let people they kind of know starve. It has nothing to do with faith. The evangelicals who buy into the prosperity gospel do this because of the aforementioned Calvinism.

      Not at all. I’m not saying there’s not good Christians; I’m saying they’re the minority and aren’t representative of the religion as a whole.

      People have been using religion as a justification for hate, pain, and misery since religion was invented, and Christianity isn’t any different. I’m not sure why you think this is a recent change.

      Plus, only helping people you know or kinda know doesn’t make you a good Christian. The majority of people, Christian or not, have no problem ignoring the needy if helping them would inconvenience them in any way.
