@daygar I'd love to say I can agree with proverbs 3:27. But it's this whole idea of 'those who deserve it'. Don't withhold the good from them. You can withhold it if they don't deserve it. And we'll tell you who those are.

@cachondo Depends what your faith is. I'm a Christian, and Christ told us to love our enemies and forgive those who have wronged us, because that's what he came to do for us. So in short, we all deserve it.

@daygar well that's a very accepting and nicely broad definition of being deserving.
shame the history of almost every religion doesn't see the leaders living up to those standards.
As a message, I am all for a lot of religious communication. But I'm afraid the reality is often and very sadly harder to accept.

@cachondo I agree. History has given just about every religion a bad name. While I admire their enthusiasm, their discernment is something else entirely. But only God truly knows and can therefore judge our hearts and intentions.
