Dodged it? Just like you're dodging the fact that you're ASSUMING that God doesn't exist?
But hey, that's O.K., because that's developmentally appropriate for a mentally retarded person such as yourself.

Generally local government.
Saudi Arabia is a rich oil country.
So is IRAN and IRAQ.
Both IRAN and IRAQ have a vast section of poor people
Saudi Arabia each YEAR gives a royalty to EVERYONE from the oil. Last year it was about $800 which is a lot of money to someone in Iraq or Iran, but not to an American, not that an American wouldn't take it or would refuse it, it's a nice chunch of change.
I'm not sure if Saudi has taxes or not.
But imagine America saying WE MADE A PROFIT THIS YEAR (of course, in reality we are 10 trillion dolalrs in debt) and here is your share of it.
That is what stocks called a DIVIDEND
There are poor people in the world because their GOVERNMENTS don't cultivate people.
Let's take a case in point.
China in 1970 was a country of BICYCLE people who didn't own a radio.
Today, since Kodak, Disney, Nikon, Cannon put their plants in China, everyone owns a car and most likely a radio and maybe even a camera or TV set.
They, of course, have mass air pollution now, just like Los Angeles. A side effect
But the average Chinese person is now better off then they were in 1970!
Since NAFTA started and Sunkist can own land in Mexico and Levy Strauss can Own land in Mexico the Mexicans are doing better than ever before, even though Levy only pays them $1 a day.
The 12 year old kids who work in the Levy plant used to play music on the street for loose change in 1980. Today they make $1or $5 a day working to make 501 Jeans.
This is what you call progress and it won't happen in Somolia as long as there is shooting and violence.
That's not condusive to opening a Kodak plant.

Well assuming there is no God it is a question of have and have not, I believe people are not born good and like Rosseau believed that infants cry because they believe to have caused their mother pain during childbirth, I've heard all the arguments about how the usa has all these food warehouses it could empty and give the food to poor people but fundamentally many things come down to the issue of pride or greed. Humans are generally greedy otherwise you wouldn't have wars or poverty or hunger, communism is not path to enlightenment b/c people are not saints it's is a given not everyone will participate, the pilgrims tried a form of communism but there were those who decided not to work for their food or make things for others so they had to try a different system of government. All governements are imperfect to a degree but the u.s. system of checks and balances has worked pretty well, many other countries have gone through mulitple constitutions the time the u.s. has had theirs, anyways my answer is basically man is selfish and while one person wants more than another the conditions you mentioned will always exist

I doubt this will make an impression on you ,but,here goes. God and the devil had a conversation.The devil said that people believe in God only when life is good for them. When things turn bad,they cease to believe in God.God therefore ,allowed the devil one century in which to exercise an extended power over the World,and the devil chose the twentieth century.Are you starting to get the picture? Probably not, seeing as you don't believe in God. Or maybe you are intellectually handicapped.

You are taking seriously too much for granted; making decisions based on ignorance without attempting to educate yourself. If the world was stereo typed life would be a bore. Your assumptions tell me you have a vengeance out of control and if I knew you personally I would keep both eyes on you till you sought out serious mental health or took advantage of someones offer to work with you and attempt to put you on the right path to happiness. Forget the past; whatever it was. You cannot change the past but you can control tomorrow. good luck

Poverty and hunger =political or environmental reasons
War =Politics
Wars even when in the name of god are still committed by men.

Blame your self God is there. Why when it comes to god we don't have any alternative rather accusing god. It is our inner weakness that let us belive in such hypocrasis.
Natually war bring destruction, definitely the result will be chaos hunger ,& for underdevloped countries leads to proverty. so only humanbeing is to blame for all this.

Sometimes there is drought caused by weather systems. No-one to blame.
Sometimes there is war
people to blame.
Sometimes there is drought caused by people
people to blame.
Sometimes there is hunger and poverty because of land-barons, because of unfair trading, because of poor farming practice (i.e devoting billions of acres to raising beef when the crops feeding the cattle could feed millions)
etc.
Every case is different, do you want me to answer every one?

it is humans. half the world eats too much and is dying of obesity. Half the world eats too less and is dying of poverty.
Its all about the Governments and how they traded business with the poorer countries. They would put them in alot of debt. And also the weather factor of droughts and things makes it harder for crops to grow.

We are responsible for our fellow humans and we have failed miserably. When we gave the government control over everything this is what we got. Want to change things? Then we need to take control back from the government.
