"We don't want him, because he's inconvenient." This is the spirit of abortion in the modern West; parents discarding the life of a child because they don't want the sorrow of caring for him. At least the grief-prone sacrificing of children to Molech had some moral integrity---and the excuse of being superstitious. But, for American Christians who think they are basically good people because they don't abort their children, there is a sin which nearly all of them commit that is more evil than the worship, per se, of Molech: the creation, and abortion, of the homeless poor.

Many Christians point an accusing finger at the gross economic disparities in capitalist America. But, these disparities are predominantly the fault of Christians because America is predominantly Christian. In fact, the economic policies of the U.S. have been designed largely by Christians, and these policies do more than allow the Rule of Greed: they promote it. The basic concept is simple: if you strive, and toil, and sacrifice to make a good life for yourself, then you deserve every penny you get. Never mind that this self-interested strife and deal-making is commonly exactly that. Ideally, 'an honest day's work has earned you whatever rewards the market permits you to get away with.'

But, the fact is that the world already is one of disharmony, mistaken impressions, and general temptations-to-rationalized-wickness. Which means that systematic oppression is a given, like weeds in a garden, ever needing to be pulled. I shouldn't have to quote the Prophets and Genesis to justify this fact to 'Christian' vipers who adore their knowledge of God's 'King James' verbatim. Any policy which discovers a thousand evil doers, if that policy condemns one innocent soul, then that policy is wicked, narrow-minded, and arrogantly ignorant. In a word, it's foolish.

'But', the ignorantly self-centered capitalist ideal goes on, 'if everyone in America acted with so much virtue toward the opportunities which their economic freedoms as Americans afford, then everyone in America would be able to support themselves and their families.' (It's accurately called the Sovereign Divine Right of the Protestant Work Ethic and Private Property.) 'No one in America has a right to complain of being poor or oppressed.'

This is the ideal which most Right Wing American Christians implicitly believe, even if they speak favorably about giving to the poor. No one can accuse them of being scrooges, like the angry, cartoon faces of Dick Cheney. They smile at you, from behind arrogant eyes, and they're in love with their ability to judge a poor homeless begger by his smelly cover or by his ability to look them in the eye. Only one thing do they need, in their own minds, and that's whatever little thing they've taken greedily to be The Key to discerning the state of a person's eternal soul. No one has the right to hate their arrogant guts, nor to honestly be intimidated by them. If you're timid, or frustrated, in regard to them, then that's your fault, caused by your sin, since they are pastors who arrogantly represent Christ to you.

The American Christians of the extreme political Right, such as Mike Reagan and Dinesh D'Souza, in effect equate the evil of greed with having a 'scrooge'-like character. And, since they don't have such a character, they're not greedy. But, if they're not greedy, then how do they explain their negative (or positive) views of the vast economic disparities in this country? If they find fault with those disparities (which they generally don't), then what fault could there be in the view that 'every American can be financially healthy if only they would 'stop their moping, and get out there and promot their own interests in the market' ?

To the not-so-few Christians who find basically nothing wrong with those disparities, I say two things: One, the next time you have a child who is so disabled that you end up loosing your house, your health, and your marriage to the 'self-disciplined', 'ruggedly individualistic' strain of paying his medical bills, by all means continue praising the right of the beneficiaries of those disparities to never even look your way. Two, Jesus must have been a fool to say things like "this generation has robbed God of His tithes and offerings", and "Neither this (blind) man, nor his parents, sinned; but, if you do not repent, you shall likewise become as he."

Most American business owners, investors, and home buyers are Christian, as are most other Americans who have a plentiful, and legally-welcome, lifestyle. In other words, in America, Christians rule. Therefore, the majority of the problems faced by the increasing numbers of the homeless in America are directly tied to the Capitalistic practices of American Christians (Capitalism, with a capital 'C'). And, this is not just 'capitalism' in some general, private sense. It's an evil pervading every major industry, and every major ministry, in America: the medical/pharmeceutical establishment, military contractors, agriculture, education (including private, Christian education), the 'wedding' industry, electric utilities, the Police and Sheriff, the Criminal Justice System (a.k.a. Penitentiary System), etc..

Whether it's India or the U.S.A., the cause of gross economic disparity in a country is not by the failure of the disadvantaged to strive greedily for 'success'. It's by the failure of the advantaged to abide by God's economic, social, and ecological laws. In the predominantly Christian U.S.A., this means that most Christians who have a marked economic advantage have it at the expense the poor-and-poorer. And, it doesn't end there: Virtually every pastor of a church who is so advantaged, and who doesn't occassionally, by merit, ask the homeless poor into his own home, is even more guilty.

Unless these pastors change their ways, they, too, shall become outcasts. They shall be harrassed by secular/capitalistic Law Enforcement for having no place to exist. They shall have no one who---like they are now, with a home and a good income---will take them in. There is only so much that the police, and the medical establishment, can do for an ever-growing number of victims of crime and illness; and the same applies for the private organizations that minister to the homeless. They do not have the resources to take sufficient care of more cases than what resources they have. Most homeless shelters are far more filthy, and far more crowded, than the place where Jesus was born. The Police, as strained as they are to keep order for the society which is lead by these pastor's paying constituents, do not owe these pastors personal body guards when the pastors become convinced---without evidence sufficient to pull the police off their general duties---that their lives are in immanent danger. Likewise, official homeless shelters do not owe them a place to sleep at night should they ever find themselves without an 'earned' one of their own.

These pastors, and other leaders, with all their wealth, much of it gotten by the 'honest' toil of making the truth into printed merchandise, shall fall down and beg; they shall demand what is rightly theirs as human beings, and shall not be given it. No one, in that day, can or will give it to them. Only when they are outcasts, and when not even their rich constituents take them into their homes, they shall understand their error.You greedy fools, you pastors, and you other Christian spiritual leaders. You say in your hearts, "The more comfortable we are, the more of God's love we feel. We tithe, and we offer, so we do not rob God." But, you do rob Him. And, you oppress Him. You shall BE oppressed. You ignore. You shall BE ignored. You abort those who cannot help themselves in the face of you. You shall be aborted. You hate God's Law, though you claim to love it. Your lives are all-but-bankrupt, and your gain is STILL at other's unjust expense. The Bible tells pastors to warn the rich, lest the rich trust in their riches.' "But," you say, "We do not trust in riches." But, you lie. And, your pastors lie. You all say the same things: "Let us get worldly blessings for ourselves by tithing. God loves us because we manage to feel comfortable within our comforts. We work hard to make sure we do not lose the comfort of enjoying our comforts. We work to make sure we have plenty of time to rest, to relax, to go on vacations, to not ever find ourselves without a place to legally exist. We shall never be harrassed because of our disease. We work hard to keep from losing our comforts, our masses of security and unemployment insurance. Because of all these comforts, we need never intend even to think of sharing them with the distressed. We love to preach sacrificial giving, because we want a church that is vibrant so we can continue to live well. But, we will not sacrifice our own garden of Eden."

You lie, and you rob God. Though you speak kindly of God and His poor, you do not love to give God what belongs to Him. You indifferently abort Him and His poor. So, you shall become poor, and none shall help you. Your heart shall fail, and none shall restore it. You shall be driven out as scoundrels, and no one shall defend you. Because you have forgotten God, though you claim to obey Him, you shall be forgotten. The whole world shall turn against you, and those with the power to relieve you shall pity you from a distance, who are safe while you are afflicted; they shall not seek to give you relief; they shall pity you from a distance. They shall say within themselves, "She does not suffer", or "She shall find help." From a distance shall your helpers mock you. They shall love themselves too much, exactly as you have taught them to do. Their service to your needs shall be to them a career, or a role-play, not a sacred duty. In private they love themselves only. You shall not be a Church to them, but a casefile. A casefile the help for which they lack the resources. "The more you have saved your life, the more of it I took away, because you robbed me" says the Lord, the God of the Holy host of angels."A distressed man who has nothing yet gives what he has to his distressed fellow; But you have not given to me", says the Lord; You trust in your life and not in me, though you sing my praise. I shall let your trust fail, and your lives be taken away."

There were many true believers in Enoch's day, yet only Enoch was taken out of the troubles that came.
