please

I love you fella. You are a good person, but this is starting a religious and a political argument. People are poor for a variety of reasons. Some of them require our financial help and others require for them to do for themselves. Some can and some cannot.

Christians are supposed to do unto others as themselves. And love and forgive. I also remember the parable of the talents.

I do not believe that being poor means you are lazy but I do believe that being lazy means you are poor. AND that God helps those who help themselves.
