[why God apparently intervenes in trivial matters such as helping a preacher with her heavey luggage, but not intervening to help starving children in Africa]
Does God stop the women from going and getting food for their children? Didn't He create chickens, goats, fruit vegetables, seeds? Is the guilty party God or the people that prevent the women access to the resource? God provides for all...everyone has a choice to take of those provisions...or wait idolly by. Proverbs: the lazy man is even to lazy to feed himself.

Right...so if people are starving in Africa, it can only be due to their own laziness.
Listen, you can't grow anything in dry, barren dirt. So, in the midst of a famine, what would you feed to the livestock? They won't survive on faith alone, I'm afraid. You claim that God provides for all. I say that it is evident that he doesn't (assuming that he exists at all).
Someone pull the blinkers from this muppet's eyes.
"Does God stop the women from going and getting food for their children?"
But God does stop men from getting food for their children?
"Didn't He create chickens, goats, fruit vegetables, seeds?"
Didn't he create dictatorships that starve their people? Didn't he create droughts? Didn't he create diseases?
"God provides for all...everyone has a choice to take of those provisions...or wait idolly by."
Not if one doesn't own those provisions or have any money. Remember, "Thou shalt not steal."
What has standing by an idol got to do with anything?

Papabear: You're an asshole.
Does God stop the women from going and getting food for their children?
Assuming he exists, yes. If he exists, he created droughts, disease, dictatorships, violence, and all manner of disasters, or at minimum, condoned them. If God could stop dictatorships but didn't, he's a really nasty guy. Yes, it's his fault.
Didn't He create chickens, goats, fruit vegetables, seeds?
No. Their respective parents created them.

If God exists, he's guilty for standing idly by. He could always step in, you know.

What provisions? There are no provisions. To demonstrate my point, I'll lock you in an empty room until you're starving. When you ask for food, I'll say you're lazy for not choosing to take the provisions God offered.
Proverbs: the lazy man is even to lazy to feed himself.
From the Book of Maronan: (1)If nothing is given to you, and you can find nothing, it's not your fault for having nothing. (2)If someone says that it is, he's a fucktard. (3)It's not good if he believes in fairies, too.

So why didn't the preacher lady choose to take a dolly or some luggage assistance instead of wasting God's time to do her heavy lifting?!
Sam Kinnison award, maybe?
You want to stop world hunger? Stop sending these people food. Don't send these people another bite, folks. You want to send them something, you want to help? Send them U-Hauls. Send them U-Hauls, some luggage, send them a guy out there who says, 'Hey, we been driving out here every day with your food, for, like, the last thirty or forty years, and we were driving out here today across the desert, and it occurred to us that there wouldn't BE world hunger, if you people would LIVE WHERE THE FOOD IS! YOU LIVE IN A DESERT! YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT! NOTHING GROWS OUT HERE! NOTHING'S GONNA GROW OUT HERE! YOU SEE THIS? HUH? THIS IS SAND. KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA BE A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW? IT'S GONNA BE SAND! YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT! GET YOUR STUFF, GET YOUR SHIT, WE'LL MAKE ONE TRIP, WE'LL TAKE YOU TO WHERE THE FOOD IS! WE HAVE DESERTS IN AMERICA -- WE JUST DON'T LIVE IN THEM, ASSHOLES!"

Holy shit.
Yes, if only starving people in third world countries would just get off their lazy, emaciated asses and partake of the plentiful food just around the corner, the problem would be solved!
WTF
The really sad thing is thousands of years ago Mesopotamia etc was known as the fertile crescent, and bountiful farmland and herds of domesticatable animals allowed for the rise of the Middle Eastern civilisations.
Then some fucking ignorant shit wrote down in a book that it was an abomination to plant two crops in the same field Leviticus19:19
Lev 19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
That's right kids, crop rotation and poly/cotton blends are EEEEVIL!!!.
Next thing you know the whole fucking joint has had the nutrients sucked out of it, the plants have died, which has affected the water cycle, the rains have stopped and it's turned into a near uninhabitable shithole!
GO GOD!
Yeah, God's either lazy, evil, stupid, or nonexistent. Now, which one makes you look less like a fuckwit?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
