And that is why they suffer and thousands of their children die of starvation daily, right?
Thank you to one of the believers here for pointing this out. He shall remain nameless.

Oh come on guys. If the Lord answers prayers (as the Bible claims) and blesses his followers, then a place like Mexico or a very Christian part of Africa should have less suffering than Sweden.
Forget about rich and poor, think about suffering. Kids are dying of horrible diseases in Africa by the millions each year. They are starving to death. At the very least God should keep them from getting infected and starving no? They could still be poor, just in better health right?

Keep in mind that in some of the same countries where children are dying of starvation, there are cows and other animals walking around fattened because they hold them sacred.
I am aware that these countries are at a disadvantage compared to ours, but lets keep it in perspective. They could eat if they wanted to. If they compromised their beliefs, just like some of the people one here want Christians to do.

It's unfortunate that you model God in this way, trying to say that because God is God, that means He gets to fix all of our little mistakes and problems. He gets to go around poofing up all our greed and disgusting misuse of power.
You know what grinds me about this question? You offer no explanation of what to do about these countries. You give no condolances, no money of YOURS will ever go to these contries, and yes I am making an assumption. Either way, aknowlage God, but deny His control. Aknowlage God, then tell Him it's HIS fault that the world is this way. Why doesn't someone oust the governments of the poor people? Why doesn't our military go and take care of this situation? We're stuck somewhere else. No, I think that you can blame God for "allowing" this depravity to continue, yet you do nothing for our own country or anyone elses. This question screams your greed just as much as the next one.
Fix your own problems before you start blaming God for what the world has to itself by it's own choice.

satan Kills, Steals and Destroys Human Beings.
Not GOD Almighty.
satan Hates all Human Beings---Like DECIEVING People into Believing that Cows (from up above Answer) are Relatives Come Back from the Dead---then getting them to STARVE themselves because of That LIE.
See?
Ain't GOD at All.
In Fact, if you Could GET GOD (TRUTH) into Those Country's, Those People would Come Out of Those DECEPTIONS and Start Eating Some Real Food---STEAK====Moo! Moo! Moo!
So There!
Deal With It! :)
(Also, satan gets into the Governments of Country's and Kills, Steals, and Destroys too!)

Ummmmmmm, don't know what Bible that believer is reading, but that's not in my Bible. There are numerous verses in the Bible that acknowledge that the wicked (those who reject the Lord) prosper--for example Proverbs 23:17, Psalm 73:3ff., Job 21, etc. So I don't think those countries are poor because they have rejected the Lord. Since I'm not God, I don't have the answer, but I'm sure that certain believer could explain it more fully.

Poor countries the US dollar is way lower to ours and your country has 26% of the population living on the streets with young children.

Can we take India for example, where the main religion is Hindu?
People are straving in India and people in the USA who have never been there think it is because they won't kill and eat the cows.
The real reason is that they won't kill the rats which eat over half of their grain.
So the Hindu religion, is directly responsible for why most are starving there today.
Those who embrace Hindu have rejected Jesus Christ.

Well... I guess for some reason, the good lord seems to have taken a liking to buddhism and atheism. Japan is a very wealthy nation and China's economy is growing in double-digit figures annually.

You are getting closer. I assume you are a fact finder, consider these. Look at Africa. one of the oldest lands we know of. Egypt etc. Great nations formed and existed there. The worshiped false gods, then came to know the true God, then trained their back on him for Islam, now look at them? nothing. the same goes for most middle-astern nations, yes they have oil, but their people live worse than animals. Laugh if you want, but then compair to the nations that accepted Christ, and worked to spread the message of the Gospel. Europe and the US. Can you deny that these younger nations, have been blessed?

What about countries that receive aid from God-fearing countries like the U.S.?
Aren't they getting a hot beef injection of faith which should give them some protection from the Lord's wrath?
