[Jim in Texas]

I would have to take issue with the view that Jesus wants us to let any person starve. although obviously the Church doesn't have limitless worldly resources to squander on foolish people who waste their own when there are more deserving people among the poor in need of help who would be able to benefit more by it. The Muslim view that what some elderly women need most is a good spanking may even have a bit of truth in it. There's certainly been a few old women I've known the thought crossed my mind they could use one, such as a certain elderly female Senator from New York for example.
