You obviously have no idea how important a Bible would be to a Christian. I know that is something you cannot understand.

I follow Christian tenants very seriously. You have no idea who I am. The Bible at this point is merely a sop to people who have more immediate needs.

If you're starving and thirsty...what would you prefer...a book...or food and water?

Try not to obfuscate the issue..but answer this question...if you had a thousand dollars to contribute...would you invest the saving of people's lives in physical sustenance..or the spiritual alternative

Exactly!

Let's talk practicalities here.

But if it makes some people out there feel good to have distributed Bibles instead of water or food, then so be it.

I am going to tell you the truth and I realize you probably won't like it. You are blind, my friend, and you don't even know it.

You are fooling no one with your self-righteousness, sniping at others for doing what they think is appropriate. How do you know they aren't handing out food as well?

Why don't you get lost, you petty little pygmie?

If you had any sense, you would realize that you have made a colossal ass of yourself.

Do you consider what happens in this world to be more important than eternity?

I'm sorry you don't understand...

..These people are not just hungry, tired, ill, or thirsty....

..the very fabric of their lives have been ripped from them, and they are confused, scared, lonely, mad, and in mourning for what they have lost, whether someone physically, or their home or town.

You can believe they need the Good News right now!...
