"God didn't create poverty, people did that one on their own. In reality, there is enough land and food for everyone if people didn't put a price on what God already freely gave us to have in the first place. Do the birds not get seeds when nobody feeds them? There is enough land on earth that everyone can have two acres of land for themselves, instead of a small square of land with a pool that we are brainwashed to thinking is "good." There is enough seeds and animals that we can all eat and not be starving. But segregation changed all that. Why do you think there are blacks, whites, brown, etc? Does God not love variety? The same, there are so many different varieties of trees and personality. Don't blame the sins of your fathers as God's doing."

It's in response to the answer I gave this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtextDgi5VTsoCbv6If9ptjsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090321151756AAfLSDM&show=7#profile-info-282f3c3ef67f759a8388216dc595a9dbaa

Now, I'm not sure as to how I should answer this. I'm already pretty sure that reasoning isn't going to help me at all. Any suggestions/quick-witted people out there?
 
Well, if this person believe that her god created everything than I think she should agree that he created poverty.

But aside from religious nonsense, I actually agree with what she said. People are greedy and other people, animals, plants, the earth suffer because of it.
 
Tell this self-righteous airhead that even the Lord Jesus said that "The poor you will have with you always".
 
If nothing happens outside this so called god's will, why are people dying, getting raped and beaten, and starving everyday?
if he's like a "father", how can put his own "children" in horrible situations and watch them terrorize each other?

that's my main problem with "god". its not even purely scientific, its just the utter cruelty and pain in this world.
