That seems pretty low, I'm not finding any sources that give anywhere near that number


It depends on what food is bought, and how much of it is given. Sugar and oil contain enough calories to sustain person for whole life for less than 4000$. In poor countries, a kilogram of sugar costs less than 1$, and kilogram of sugar is 3400 calories, which is enough for 3 days for poor person to prevent starvation. So assuming life expectancy of 12000 days for poor people in those countries, sugar alone could meet calorie needs for about 4000$.


Oil, on the other hand, usually costs 2 dollars or less, but in total provides about 8000 calories, which is enough for 7 days for poor person. So again assuming life expectancy of 12000 days, that is about less than 4000$.


But thats for whole life. the problem here isnt "feed person for whole life or not at all". Sometimes even one meal can save person's life, person that would otherwise starve, and temporary food support can help a person build a better life later.



Plus you have to factor in the logistics of transporting all that food.


Food is usually transported on mass scale to reduce cost of transport, but if given directly, no cost of transport.



Another thing to take into account is that even if you feed someone for life, you don't know for certain they'd have died otherwise.


there are areas in world where people keep dying from starvation, so in those areas, we could say its certain people will die if not sent food.

SatanLucy
Sure but then you have to feed them again and again, so the costs add up significantly


The cost of food for one person, assuming only cheap food is bought, is less than 4000$ for whole life. And there are people in situations where they die if not given food. As for motivation to work, food isnt the only motivation to work. Most countries have free food for the poor. They still have to work to have something more than food in life. I think food stamps are very cheap and they succeed in providing meals and prevent malnutrition, which is important because if person doesnt get enough nutrients, person cannot even work. I agree medicine is also good donation, but you cant really abolish food aid in favor of it because person with no food dies even if given medicine.

Top charity orgs by cost-effectiveness:


Well, technically, food saves a life if given to person that would otherwise starve without it. Now, donating to people for medical issues is much more expensive than 4000$ per life saved from your link, so you could say donating to Malaria medicine is way more effective than donating to specific person's already existing medical issue, which usually costs like over 10000$ and often feels pointless especially if person is older or too many people requesting at same time so some not even reaching donation goal for medical treatment. But donating food usually saves life for much cheaper than 4000$ and is very straightforward.


But yeah, issue with charity is that most of it is scam. Helping people often causes dependence on help, a lot even abusing given help. It takes careful selecting and directing money. I dont even know if money I donated to Palestine even reached Palestine, despite being given through biggest humanitarian organization in my country.


the usual rule is to donate to people in worst situation, who really depend on that donation to survive, and are unlikely to abuse it. But even then, people get used to being helped and get less motivated to help themselves.

They can buy drugs, guns and all sorts instead of the food and water they claimed they'd buy.



I am aware of that. In fact, some people made entire family businesses out of begging for money on the streets in Bosnia. But you can check people before giving them money. tho in most cases, they want money for cigarettes and alcohol, not food. However, there are obvious cases where money is needed for medical treatment or similar. I am well aware that most charity is scam. I am just trying to focus on charity which isnt.

SatanLucy

there are two types of charity:

Direct and not direct.


Direct charity is when you directly give money to person in need.


Indirect charity is when you give to trusted charity organization, and that organization gives to person in need.


these come with their benefits and drawbacks.


Benefit of direct charity is that you are 100% certain where money went, and also people learn about you quickly so you look good, which is good for those who donate to charity for purely selfish reasons.


Indirect charity probably wont have your name mentioned, and charity organizations are often scams. However, there is a certain benefit in being anonymous. If people learn about you as charitable person, they will start coming to you a lot for help, and that is extremely annoying. Indirect anonymous charity mostly prevents that.


But you must check the charity organization really good. Like, it must be top charity organization in your country and not some randomly selected organization.


Since I wont reproduce, it is logical for me to leave all my wealth to charity, after enjoying a reasonably long life.


Of course, I must be careful who to leave land to, because it cant be someone who will cut trees planted on it, but I understand that is difficult to control. I hate the idea that all my work with planting trees can be easily destroyed by whoever gets the land after me.

But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:16 - We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.


Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.


Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. We love each other because he loved us first.


Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.


God is that love.

Kids these days are different. they arent like kids in your time, kids who go outside and play. No.


today's kids just want to play games on phone all day and be on internet for like 10 hours a day.


Satan has blessed the world with new pure Satanic generations and such Satanic generations will inherit the world.


I am only sad that I will probably be old like you once "666" system is fully established in the world. But it will be glory and power to see Satan's victory at work.

Asked and answered Rainman.


So no, the word Christianity isnt mentioned anywhere in Bible as word. So we can say Christianity is made up and Christianity is just people adding words to Bible and then saying Bible says something which isnt found in Bible. Nowhere does Bible say "Your religion is Christianity or Catholicism by Bible".

Considers it an intrinsically sinful act, an abuse of the sexual faculty, selfishly seeking pleasure apart from the unitive and procreative purposes of sex within marriage,


Yeah, obviously, I have countless marriage offers every day, but I selfishly refuse them all, then I go to room alone to masturbate and cry.

SatanLucy

I think Christians who oppose masturbation are deluded. No offense to God. If God didnt want people to masturbate, God wouldnt give people physical pain when they refuse to do it.

Not Enough Water Exists on Earth**


God added the water, silly.



**2. No Mechanism to Remove the Water Afterwards**


God removed the water, silly.



*3. Geological Record Shows No Global Flood**


God removed the record, silly.



Do you need me to go on, or do you get the point that an all-powerful God is indeed all-powerful and isnt limited to what you think he couldnt do.
