Ditto.You have to ask yourself WHY those people starved. I can guarantee you it was not for a lack of food. If someone starves, it's because there is something fundamentally wrong with them. And when I originally said no one starves, I meant that no one starves because they can't get food. I know what I'm talking about. I used to be homeless. I never went hungry. There was always someplace to eat.There are so many social programs and organizations to feed people, that there is no reason a child or an adult should starve to death under normal circumstances in America. Most of those who starved were mentally ill. There is no way that someone of sound mind and body can starve in America.So you can't give me an example of someone starving in America. I knew you wouldn't be able to. Because it doesn't happen. You lose. This conversation, one sided though it is, is over. Have a nice day, cupcake.You didn´t answer my question, though.
Well, here's a piece the Washington Post did on it............
5 Myths about hunger in America
And here is what the World Life Expectancy organization says about it. They use data from places like WHO, World Bank, UNESCO which are organizations that would know about things like this. According to them, in 2014, the number of people that starved to death in America was 3,933.

Hope that helps.
Moving the goalposts I see. First you said there was no way anyone could starve to death in America, and I provided links to show you that it does happen.
Now? You're saying that nobody of sound mind and body can starve to death.
What next? You gonna tell me that nobody of sound mind and body with a job can starve to death next?
.Many Americans starve on the streets.It is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ
-Help people...Be it through charity or government. No one should be allowed to die on the side of the street or to die on their couch. Anyone that believes otherwise is going to hell when they die.
-Strive to be a good person to others.
-Forgive others and accept that we're all different. Jesus wanted this! Don't cast the first stone.
-Strive to live your life fully and to be their for your family. Yep, Jesus wanted you to be their for your family and be something in life.
-I believe that we must be the stewarts of gods creation here on earth. What is that? We must protect the animal life and maintain the wonders of our world. We need to stop destroying.
There's too many Christians today that seem more like demons from the depths of hell. A lot of them post on this board daily and scream about how much they hate helping other people and judge without thought.
persons who starve in the USA do so because they are either mentally ill or
very addicted to substances. Hungry children are the result of households disordered BY mental disorders or substance addiction &/or crime.

You were doing good until you told people the conditions of which they will be consigned to hell. "Judge not, lest ye be judged" is something that Jesus said, so whether or not someone ends up in hell has zip point squat to do with me, but rather everything to do with God and that individual. I don't know if they did good or not, or why they did the things they did, only God does, and Heaven is His place, so He decides who gets in or not, not me.
Me personally? I think the only "sin" that there is are the things lined out in the 7 Noahide commandments or those lined out in the 10 Commandments. Follow those (and it's pretty easy), and you're golden.

sure, maybe when the problem (first) arose say 2000 years ago a soup kitchen may have been a good idea but after 2000 years maybe the religionist could think of something worth while than just patting themselves on their back for their self perpetuating feel good story while those needing help continue for 1999 years to starve.

seriously, they wrote that in the late 4th century (it's makebelieve) to keep you from thinking for yourself, from some anyway you do not seem to need the help ... and what does that have to do with actually doing something so future generations are not repeating the same mistakes made by all the previous one's before it. your book is a proven disaster.
