    "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

    So I sell my possessions, how then do I then give the money to the poor? If given to the charity sector a healthy cut will disappear into the ether of corruption and ineptitude.

    🙈🙉🙊

    Set up your own charity and pay yourself a hefty salary to help the poor.

    When the funds run out, do the same all over again.

    Go to the poor directly and cut out the middleman?

    you can give all you have to the poor, but you'll never get to heaven.

    That's the way to go! The Double Irish. Pay high taxes and still pay out to fat charities. Why not set up a religion?.......I know a racket that has been going on for over 2000 years.

    There is no reason for any country/state to be poor and starving in this day and age. In cases where it is it is totally down to the people themselves. And not our fault but their own.
