Go tell that to all the homeless people in America who feel the need to steal from others to make life worthwhile/possible. Do you really want them to be punished?

I do not know about other countries, but in America the average homeless person probably makes more than I do. There are plenty of programs, shelters, Religious organizations, etc that could help these type of people. America is piled with free help, free this, that and everything else. You do need to open up your mouth and ask, and do a little work, but it is possible. Same with druggies. They made the choice to do drugs, and it has gotten to the point where they have become a burden on society. Breaking the law is breaking the law. I do not care how depressed you get with life. If drugs are going to be a problem for you do not do them! I sat on a guard post for a whole year for 18 hours a day watching a damn where Afghan citizens washed themselves and used as a bathroom all day long. Did I get depressed and decide to take drugs to make life easier on myself? Start smoking heavily, drinking, etc? No! Because I did not want to ruin my life.

 

Bums are bums because they are either mentally handicapped, or lazy. I do not know what the movies have taught you, but even in the big city bums are not this horrible wretch like you see in the movies.  Swallow your pride and apologize to your family so that they will let you back in, stop doing drugs, seek help, use a shelter for and address. There is the occassional bad situation where a homeless person may just be stuck for a while and their kids are homeless for a bit. But that should never go on for too long of a time. If the parents were good parenta at all they would put their children into a foster home until they could get on their feet and take them back. It is all about decisions 'The One" Kind of like your decision to hate God. You have free will, and that is what you chose. Criminals have free will, and that is what they have chose. Should not feel sorry for them, just like no one in heaven will feel sorry for you when you ask for a drop of water as you are burning. That is not saying anything bad to you, just personal beliefs. Certainly not a reportable offense.

So, is that a yes?

 

(I don't hate God by the way. Just some of the actions that some of his followers do. I can't believe how many times I have felt the need to clarify that.)
