"What you are basically telling me is that we all choose our avenue of giving and prayer and I basically should “feel” conviction that I am judging the avenue others took."

Nope. I'm not telling you anything apart from the fact that Christ told us, "...whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."

If you wish to turn your back on Him, and say that His suffering doesn't matter to you, feel free to do so.

There is a disconnect here.

Actually, what you were telling me in the thread to which I was responding was this, and I quote:

“Granted, we can’t donate money, time or expertise to every worthy cause, nor can we personally bring succor to every suffering person (although it’s my personal suspicion that most of us can do more than we do). We can however, pray, and spread awareness so that perhaps another person with the money, time or expertise a situation requires is inspired to give of themselves. IMHO, that’s the Christian thing to do.”

I feel as if you are trying to trap me in a form of “Is it true you’ve stopped beating your wife?” The “either/or” perspective does not apply here.
