Are you claiming these places have insignificant theist populations?

As I recall, not quite 15% of people in the US are non-religious, though FAR FEWER self identify as either atheistic and/or agnostic. It is fair to say that it is most likely that the groups mentioned in the link (examples of the Bystander effect from NY and CA) aren't comprised of just "atheistic-commies", even if your portrayal of the Chinese incident was entirely accurate (which it almost certainly isn't).

FWIW, I think all incidents of this type suck something horrible, and it doesn't matter who perpetrated the passive bystanding.

I don't know the definition of definition. How's that?

I take your evasiveness to mean that you concede the point.

Doggg didn't you justify the she-bear bible attack by claiming that "those kids were probably mercenaries" and "bears weren't that big in olden days"? I'm surprised to find you waxing emo here tbh.

Clearly, that child was going to grow up to be a Muslim communist liberal abortion doctor and God just intervened to harden the bystanders hearts.

p.s. Cars aren't that big in China

maybe there will be no apocalypce?

I think you missed this compelling evidence

I'm afraid atheists don't have a monopoly on appalling apathy. Nor is today any worse than it was 6,000 years ago.

Lol, you were the one who jumped to them being atheists and communists because they are Chinese. Now you are turning it around as if I was going to suggest they are all going to church? Btw, people can not be atheists and not go to a christian church. Gasp.

The point is you talked about chinese people being apathetic and then started talking about how they were atheist and communist as if this was relevant. Even if your assumption of them being atheists and communists was justified (it isn't) you still have made this unjustified and insulting insinuation that their being atheists and communists is relevant to their being apathetic.

See how many people ignore a "baby left in a hot car" in this you tube clip. Has nothing to do with religious beliefs or lack thereof.
This was recently tried again by another TV station. Same result. Dozens walked by but only two people intervened.

Whenever anyone gets tired of debating with a Christian. Present this question to them. "Do you spend money on maintaining your lawn and making it look nice, or instead, do you forsake your lawn and spend that money on feeding a child that is starving to death?"


Matthew 22:36-40 (KJV)

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

This is a serious question for OP or anyone else ITT of faith. At the end of times, what will happen to non-believers like me?

Alright, now that I've bummed out just about everyone.

Jesus states...

Matthew 19:21 (KJV)
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Obviously, none of us are perfect. The following is from an old Myspace blog that I did. This is the least that someone should do.

MISSION STATEMENT

To promote awareness of world hunger and alleviate suffering by educating the public on how they can contribute resources to end world hunger. I am working very hard to spread the word on world hunger and I have come up with two plans where if everyone invests their fair share of resources, the return can be donated to charities whose goal is to alleviate world suffering.

HUNGER IS GETTING WORSE - 2005 UN REPORT
God will bless the people who are doing something about the hunger situation.

(Proverbs 19:17) He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. (KJV)

The hunger problem has been a serious issue for me, for some time. You see the result here after much praying. I believe that promoting hunger awareness along with solutions, will go a long way in helping this issue. People will try and meet their obligation when they realize what is fair. This is not an impossible situation, if everyone pulls together. God provides enough for all his people to live a decent life. The question is if they will distribute his resources equitably to bring about this state of affairs.

Eternal destinies hang in the balance. God will judge people on the basis of how they have cared for the needy in their midst.

(First Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19) Places the rich under a special responsibility to be generous. God's kindness to them should be expressed in being kind to others, storing up treasures in Heaven, not Earth.

Feed The Hungry

So, how are we going to go about feeding the hungry? What is fair?
1 billion people need to be fed. Cost to feed 1 billion people for a year is $180 billion (estimate). Net worth of the world is $70 trillion. Your fair share? .25 percent of your personal net worth, each year. In the above example a person with a net worth of $30,000 should donate $75 a year, each year. Now we each have a specific goal and not some arbitrary figure.

God wants you to help, if you can.
