My Answer to Prof. Cronk's Question

What is the best possible relationship between religion and solutions to poverty, in modern life?

The best possible relationship would be to get the two mixed in together. Religions claim to be about peace and love. They ask people to help others who are suffering. Do good deeds and the Gods will reward you! Seriously though we have people in churches praying in order to be accepted into heaven. What a better way to show you are a good person with a good heart than to share what little you have to someone who has nothing. I think religious leaders should step up and pitch in more to people outside of their religion and country. However their budgets might not suffice for such projects. I mean, but is it necessary to have a great big church every three blocks or can some money be saved to help some of their more unfortunate followers? I read an essay last year where they compare Bill Gates to Mother Theresa. It reported how Bill Gates has given millions and millions to help disease. Bill Gates is an atheist so he does this not believing in God. Mother Theresa offered her services to help end poverty too, but with a goal which was to end up in heaven. So who is more selfish? I know, it's messed up but the essay as a whole was very interesting.
