That's not what I said. Often, we have no idea what happens to the money we give people on the street, they can buy food or they can buy drugs. How is it helpful if they buy drugs? In other words, there are other ways far more better ways to help the poor that don't require giving money to people on the street. Donating to food banks if far more effective, for example.
Does God allow evil? Of course not.

I doubt many would and I dont think it is a good idea to go further than giving some money to people you do not know.
Giving, especially when you are low on funds means a lot though.
I was interested in bringing out a point to Q that no one wants to be in that situation.
No.
The Crusades? The Inquisition? The Hammer of Witches? Of course not.
Compassion is something we all have, it has evolved along with other traits.
Sorry, but no one does that and it is unlikely most "beggars" would go along with that.
could you post that verse from bible where it says that god gave us freewill..right now all you have is hearsay
btw if you didnt know it,your god is too contradictory to exist

Atheists seem to end with better morals, of which compassion is a component. Religions divide. Secularism unites. Which is better?

Who can be more skilled at anything than God.
Break the first commandment and name the God of evil if it is not the same God as the God of good.
Who is more powerful and more evil than God?

I think that that is a lie. God did not allow A & E a free will.
Please tell us what happened to A & E the first time they used their free will.
Did God not murder them by neglect and keeping them forcibly away from the tree of life?
Is that you idea of what free will is?
Is a death sentence not something that annuls a free and unencumbered free will?

IF god is omniscient and created ALL,,he created your future so everything is Predestined and you cant have free will..
Getting your information about Christianity from Pat Robertson

If a person believes nonsense about one thing, they are likely to believe nonsense about everything.
