World Hunger and Poverty: How They Fit Together
- 1.02 billion people across the world are hungry.
- Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes—one child every five seconds.
Let me emphasize this:
one child dies every five seconds
To all people who thank God for blessings – isn’t it a little too self-centered to thank God for His blessings to you (what? passing an exam? not having pimples before that date? a better job?), while all these tens of thousands of children die? If God doesn’t listen to their prayers, what makes you think He’ll listen to yours?

26000 children die each day. Do you still believe in a good God?
The usual replies I get to this one:
- it’s actually our fault that the children die, not God’s, because: we have freedom of choice / rich nations don’t help the poor children / etc.
- we can never understand God / there is a reason for everything
Nobody, and I mean none of the religious people I’ve confronted with this sick truth even bother to say “Wow I had no idea about that” or “That’s really horrendous”. Nope. They all defended God in one way or another.
This just shows how brainwashed religious people are, and how beyond any hope of recovery. I’m thinking of giving up this goal.

Romania’s e-portal web page has been recently launched. It awaits content, but it translates to “List of partnerships between the state and the church”.
If I needed one more reason not to ever return to Romania, this was it.
