Are you asking what a hypothetical person’s religion says that person should do if they’re not given the material help that they ask for?

minus-squareRadicalEagle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-24 months agoYes, but once again I can tell that you’re making some assumptions that are preventing any sort of meaningful conversation. What do you mean by “selfish person”? Everyone I’ve met is selfish to some degree. If a person claims to follow a religion, but doesn’t follow that religion’s teachings, are they actually following the religion?
