The answer is debatable, but it most definitely is NOT the fault of the people who eat Big Macs.
Thank you, Jesus!

Re: Thank you, Jesus!
It's a nice deflection to turn the debate into what the questioner is doing to help those whose prayers apparently go answered. That still does not address the question of how one can seriously believe that god gives a rat's ass about lost car keys, but doesn't directly aid the starving child.
Isn't the better answer that god is a non-interventionist? That we are left as human beings to solve our problems?

I hear this silly refrain a lot. What would you have God do?

Do you mean "consolation?"

I'd say the criticism is more directed at the self-centered and small minded individuals who see nothing but what's before their noses. How can they pretend to know God?

God intervened the most personal way. He being fully god and fully man. Gave his life for that starving child. You are blind to God so of course you will not see. Gods kingdom is not of this world so he will not act in this world as you would like. God sees value in suffering. I font know why. But it's all over his gospels.

It'd be great, for starters, if God didn't behave exactly as if he didn't exist.

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?
I can't afford it right now - I have to go into debt just to pay tithing. And unfortunately, tithing isn't helping any starving kids.
