> Hey, if you want to try to insult an anonymous message board poster in order to assuage your guilt for doing nothing to help the homeless population except complain about it on a message board, more power to you! Hope you have fun 🙂
“Guilt,” you say? “Done Nothing,” you say?
Well, let us say you were right (you’re not), _how would you know?_ You wouldn’t - you’re too busy being the shining light of all reason. :rolleyes: You project your own shallow being onto others, and you propose stupidly glib ‘solutions’ - Non-solutions - and then climb on your high horse and trot away, convinced that your shallow reasoning is somehow superior to those whom have actually gotten their hands dirty helping.
May you NEVER be at the mercy of someone like yourself - I doubt you’d do well by the experience.

> True, but if you really had faith, that faith would manifest itself in works. You wouldn’t begrudge the poor; and the sick; and the strangers to this land whatever generosity you could afford (without diminishing the welfare of your own family) and you wouldn’t beat the drums of war as much as we do.
You show greater compasion, but you still make assumptions. At what point have I begrudged the poor? Have you evidence of this? Do I beat the drums of war? Have you a cite? Or were you actually thinking of some generic “you?” If so, do a kindness, and be a bit more clear - Right now I’m not entirely sure if I should be red-lining your post, or kicking your ass.
Also: Works will not save you. They’re worthy of doing for their own right, but don’t hang your soul on them.

Don’t you have anything better to do? I’m sure there homeless people that you could spend your time helping rather than posting nonsensical crap on an anonymous message board.
Also, thanks for pitting me! 🙂

This thread puts the “Pi” in “Pit”. Completely irrational.

Well, if you need more material, I think they’re having fun over in the **Bricker** thread. Of course, **CandidGamera** has become the star of that show.

But is it transcendental?
