    Money and Happiness

    A lot of things have got me thinking about money, happiness, and the connection between them. I am poor, as many college students often are. I do my best to save money and support myself. I take the maximum possible credits at the local community college in association with my university, I...

    Define rich and poor.

    What I am looking for are working definitions, hopefully, in your own words. I've seen too many people in life who call themselves "poor" when in fact they have a decent car, a roof over their heads, bills paid and enough food to sustain them and their family. I would hardly call them poor, more...

    When you mention those most contributing to the poverty of the poor, who is it your highest priority to mention; Jeff Bezos: worth 177 billion US dollars, one of the top 5 billionaires who has not pledged to give away more than half of their wealth? Bill Gates: number 4 worth 124 billion US...

    The Four Horsemen

    Who hasn't heard of the four horsemen of the apocalypse? Of course the book of Revelation is written in signs, or symbolic language, so even though we don't actually see these horsemen riding literally, can we not agree that they are indeed riding? Can we see evidence of the white horse...

    Blessed Are the Poor

    Salvation and the Savior

    It seems odd, that there isn't a forum about salvation and the savior. About saving mankind. I supposed, it is because there are extremely few people, who believe salvation is about saving mankind, and the Savior is the one who God has chosen to save mankind. I see two view points on salvation...

    World Peace, Religion and Poverty

    Today I read to my horror this news... "20 million at risk of starvation in world's largest crises since 1945 - U.N." UN: World facing largest humanitarian crisis since 1945 - CNN.com How can this be? We have so much wealth today? But it is in the hands of the few. I read that war was the...
