"Son, hold right hand out to me and your left hand under your ass.... see which one gets filled first."

(11,399 posts)If religion actually were a path to helping the poor, how come we have so many poor people? Religion has been around for thousands of years and yet they have never solved the issue of poverty.....I suspect religion has actually made it worse what with their abuse of orphanages, poor houses and homes for unwed mothers.
It's the old idea of religion, the more miserable you are on earth, the more religious you will become, to pray that you will be saved and go to heaven.
