I find it amusing that you seem to have so much contempt for the people to whom you are tying to preach the Gospel.

I don't have any contempt for the people here.

I have contempt for the system that enslaves them to servitude, filth and deprivation.

go to any general store in a city in India (they do have TP in India)

In the rural slum villages, surrounding towns and cities - TP is not an item used or sold. And the vast numbers of India's poor population lives in these rural slums.

In a country where a large population has a tough time feeding and clothing itself, sanitation wouldn't quite be a high priority for a lot of people.

Again, more pathetic ignorance on your part. Sanitation and hygiene is not ANY kind of priority for this culture, and it's ability to feed and clothe itself is limited to it's millennia-old Caste system of haves, laborers to serve the Haves, and the Have-nots. The people here are willfully enslaved mind, body and soul to a playground that the Devil runs.

You may not realize but your contempt is actually quite evident when you say how shameless the population is because they never learn how to dispose the garbage the correct way.... and for not using TP. Wonder what Jesus would think about that comment of yours. :)

I have contempt for the system that enslaves “

Please tell us what system you are talking about? The liberal secular democratic system of India?

TP is not an item used or sold. “

Yes. And I asked you to find out why. You still have no answer.

“Sanitation and hygiene is not ANY kind of priority for this culture, and it's ability to feed and clothe itself is limited to it's millennia-old Caste system of haves, laborers to serve the Haves, and the Have-nots.”

Lets face it..... you have an agenda. You are in the business of spreading the Gospel, nothing wrong with that. However I dont quite see the Gospel fixing up India's economic problems (notwithstanding your strong contempt for non-Christian population/culture).

Every country in the world has an upper class and an underclass. Heck, I have lived in the US long enough to know even US has the same thing, big time! The class difference in India is far more grim but India is a large country that has just about started adopting free market capitalism and is slowly coming out of poverty in the last 2 decades ....after 3 centuries of slavery under guess who?.... A Christian colonial power. If the Gospel could have fixed India's Cast problem and fixed India's economic and sanitation problems it would have done it 3 centuries ago.

The silver lining is that India is changing, there is a lot more optimism and millions of people are actually coming out poverty. Most of it has really nothing to do with the spreading of the Gospel but any genuine good work sure has its rewards.
