Where is this "God" that they allow these people to end up like that if they really believe in God?

I've heard it said that God helps those who help themselves. God gave us some brains, and we don't use them sometimes. Lots of homeless people go to shelters and rescue missions. Sometimes they'd rather live on the streets, begging Sometimes they are lazy, or misguided. Most want to rely on society to help them along in life. I'll give food to a homeless person, but not money. What are they going to do? Buy booze or drugs with the money, of course. If you buy them food, or water, you are doing more of a service to them. I have never been starving to death, or dying of thirst, but i can only imagine what it does to the mind, nevermind the hunger pangs. If you give someone food, you are giving them some much needed relief! Once they calm down in the mind, from the panic of almost literally dying of starvation/thirst, then maybe they will smarten up a bit and search for a charitable agency to help them longterm. Until that happens, then they are out there, begging, in a panic. It's sad to see my fellow humans going through that, but most of the time it's either drugs or alcohol addiction which got them on the streets to begin with.
The smart ones will find shelter. Then, God will help them. There, they can get counseling for the dependencies. If on the streets, it's a slow, agonizing death. The elements will kill them, or someone doing a thrill-kill will beat them with baseball bats (I've seen it on the news, like a year ago). The best place to be is trying to find a shelter.

Hi, God made us a family and expects us to care for each other, if we are not doing this then we are to blame,God is not our slave, and won`t pull a rabbit out of the hat to ease our consciences.

GOD gives you life, it is up to you what you make of it.
some people get lost, others do allright for themselves. GOD does love all of His children though. HE has mercy on all of our souls.

God helps those who help themselves, or so they say.
