I have two grand-daughters. I praise God every day they don't have to live like that. And I pray that charity prevails in this world that they may come to know the blessings we know.

Oh, how disgustingly convienent of you, to say that you would rather have your children (I'm assuming you have 7) starve than be Muslim. You live in the greatest nation that has ever walked the face of the earth. You probably live not far from a grocery store in your hometown of Buffalo that is overflowing with foodstuffs. Even if you work a low-paying job, you can afford to feed your children not just the raw food that will enable them to live, but luxury food items that millions the world over will never taste.

You and your children will never, EVER have to face the situation these Afghan women and children do. If, for some reason, you face a situation where you have to choose between your children living or dying, I don't think for a second that you would drop this pious pretense and choose life for your children, no matter what the circumstances are.

Christ said "Let the little children come to me". In your twisted, evil world you would rather kill those children because they're not Christian to begin with; you'd rather just forget all of what Christ preached about caring for the poor and needy. Go to hell, Nazi. We defeated your kind 54 years ago, and we can defeat you again. The only difference is that, like an infection, people like you live among us now.

This goes to the heart of the question..the Muslims have answered ,their faith is more important than their lives....they will die for what they believe in ..they will kill for the moon god.

But somehow for an American to say there are somethings that are more important than life or capital gains and it is preverse

I was asked a question..is there anything that is more important to me than my faith in Jesus Christ..and after that my belief in the constitution of the US..my answer is NO..there is nothing more imnportant than that..

So you and other may get in line for the famous tatoo 666..some of us will not.

We defeated the Nazis with bombs,We defeated the Japanese with an Atomic bomb

We did not drop food on them..this is a war for Petes sake,not a social outreach

If they will not only free the christian aid workers that they now hold..but allow others to come in with bibles and food I will cash in my retirment funds and donate them

Until then the Muslims are the enemy of Israel and Christians..and no I do not feed my enemy

Muslims persecute Christians

I wish we could be there! We had to give up our season tickets because the logistics of getting to the game with twin babies was just too much for us. Hopefully we'll make it back there again!

One of the first pictures I took of them when we got them home from Vietnam was in their little LSU shirts. Too cute!

An Afghan boy watches three geese as other Afghan refugee children sift through the contents of a garbage dumpster looking for recyclables and food in the center Peshawar Monday, Oct. 22, 2001.

Beats whatever these kids are eating.

I would adopt any of these kids and raise them as Christians..I would send my retirement funds over there if they would allow bibles..

See the thing is they want to kill your cuties for their moon god..and they are training their children to do the same..so hug your babies momma..some day theu may grow up to be soldiers like mine and face getting killed by one of these kids

And if you had to choose, would you rather see your kids die, or become Muslims?

There is no question. The moon god offers no salvation..I would hope they would refuse to call anyname but Christ..

Here's Mom calling on the troops. I don't think Jerry_M and CCWoody want to get involved in your unChristian perdicament Mom.

Jesus IS worth dieing for the faith.  However, this question is out of context and one that Mom would love to trap you in.  But there is also a very good counterpoint.  Jesus would die, and did die, for the same people Mom deems unworthy of charity.  I just can't find the scripture passage that says hate all muslims.

I think the presence of the dumpster is interesting..wonder who put it there,who empties it,and what starving people have to put in it.

If you go to Mexico you can see starving Christian kids that go to the garbage dump daily to take what the rich have thrown away..they would like some of your money too.

Cant help wondering what was thrown in that dumpster

Ah, so you're worried about the Afghan children giving your kids smallpox? Don't worry, most of them don't travel, they're too busy just trying to stay alive.

Face it, you've been busted.

ROMANS 12:20
"But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head."

MATTHEW 5:43-47
43 ``You have heard that it was said, `YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.'
44 ``But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 so that you may be[42][Or show yourselves to be ] sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 ``For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 ``If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

You go girl!

I cannot believe the naivete of some of the posters here.

Nothing better in the world than a good Christian home. (Jewish OK too)

and no I do not feed my enemy

[Mat 5:44-48] But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,  that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same?  And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same?   So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.

As I've told you on another thread, your son and daughter-in-law are in my prayers, as are the other brave men and women of the military. My husband and I pray for them with our children every night. I have the capacity to pray for them AND for the poor children in Afghanistan and all over the world. I look at my kids and I see those kids. I went to an orphanage in Hanoi to get my kids. It wasn't pretty. They were malnourished and were receiving very little medical care. The orphanage workers had to dilute their formula because they just didn't have enough to go around. I have seen that with my own eyes. Have you? If you have and that didn't make an impression on you, then I really feel sorry for you.

Maybe you can turn your back on these kids, but some of us cannot.
