Do you mean "consolation?"

He did. He made you. I human being born into a position to do something about it, someone who obviously (and rightly) has a certain tenderness for this child. Maybe Jesus is saying right now, "Why aren't you listening, Buffalo? You care, just like I knew you would, now do something."


No, my parents made me. I have the birth certificate to prove it.

Whoops! Yes, that's what I meant to type.

It won't perish because it's not real bread or real water. Give them the real stuff so THEY don't perish.

Hello,

I prayed to Jesus that my truck would start one time when it didn't want to start (you know, because the engine was worn out).

He answered my prayer before that of a starving Ethiopian women begging God that her child could eat for the night.

God is great. My truck started after 20 seconds of turning the engine over. Amazing.

“F” that kid, by the way.

They must be so proud.

Regardless, you're disappointed with God, why don't you feed that child? Why are you waiting for a God in whom you don't even believe?

Jesus isn't letting that kid starve. Developed nations whose citizens are obese from hogging down Big Mac's after going through the drive-thru sitting in their cars and fail to lend substantial aide to third world countries are letting that kid starve.

Jesus DID get off his ass and do something. He left this world with a philosophy that human beings are too bloody arrogant, selfish and greedy to live by.

What percentage of this (U.S) country's young children are morbidly obese?

Is that Jesus' fault too?

Give me a break.

Do you think that people in third-world countries WOULDN'T be hogging down Big Macs after going through the drive-through if only they had the chance?

Why don't they have the chance?
