Something I want answered once and for all

I have to say here, as I did in your 'Immigration' thread in Debates that I totally agree with your point 2. The resources of the world are collectively owned by ALL of the worlds peoples and they should rightly be shared equally.

In the current selfish thinking, people [including Christians] cannot see how that makes sense. Nationalism should be the en ...[text shortened]... ly dont care about the 'have nots'.

In the world to come Christ will take care of that.

This is the first thing you've said in a while that I fully agree with. Well done.

Did I specify? No?

Then obviously I meant his entire post.

The fact that a certain desirable outcome cannot be easily or immediately achieved does not change it to undesirable, neither does it mean its pointless to move in that direction.

Yet you have no supporting arguments for your stance, hence the attempts at deflecting.

In what way is letting thieves into my house a sign of high ideals? Do I really question theists about their high ideals? Can you quote me? Are you sure I am not questioning your concept of Gods high ideals?

My mistake. I misread 'vagrant'.

You are stating in this thread that democratic border control, ('immigration'😉 is a "violaton of human rights" and that counties should share their wealth.
No, I said nothing about countries sharing their wealth.

I'm asking you if you do this personally, i.e. do you control your personal border. Do you share your home and your possessions with those less well off than yourself?
Yes, I do this personally.

If not then aren't your domestic decisions a violation of the human rights of your less well off neighbors?
No, not at all. It is in no way equivalent. I do however believe that a situation where a few landlords own all the land and rent it out to everyone else would be a violation of human rights.

I am not going to go and blow my own horn here and turn this into a discussion about works like others might.

Let's just say that I regularly interact with homeless persons in downtown Phoenix through a couple of relief organizations as well as personally. Not enough people are getting as involved with this effort, but I've seen slightly more help getting out to the people as the economy slowly improves.

Not that I'm seeking your approval, but does this answer your question?

I'm not sure I'm entirely qualified to answer your first question.

Sharing my home? My home? No. This doesn't keep me from sharing a good portion of my other resources (including my time) with those less fortunate than me.

Look, I'm a single female living alone. I don't think anyone would disagree that running a halfway house in my neighborhood out of my own home would be a dangerous proposition for me.
