<And you said you believe in Maslow's ideas so his argument is also yours. >
yes, and it says NOTHING about looking down noses... YOU DID!! That's in YOUR mind. You quoted what I said:
<"it's much harder to pay attention to spiritual matters when your starving, living in fear, and oppressed of course. Bring out more animal instincts... canabalism, etc.">
<Furthermore, you belittled and dismissed third world conversions to Christianity as being merely a response to being given food by the Catholic church. >
"Belittle" is YOUR word... I said and nothing of the sort. My statement that the Catholic Church gain conversions by(missionaries, look them up) feeding starving people, give them education, and help them with basic skills IS NOT PERJORATIVE in the least. They are doing FANTASIC HUMANITARIAN WORK! YOU MADE UP THE PERJORATIVE PART! YOU (apparently) THINK IT's BELITTLING TO NEED HELP, TO BE STARVING OR LIVE IN SQUALLOR, not me.
The above supports M's Heirarchy BTW.... but I we're done with that argument. :))
I have family & friends in the Peace Corps, I & my family spend time @ St. Vincent De Paul periodically and gives to other Catholic Charities as well. I'm sure you do your part too... but don't lay YOUR version on my experience.
So get off your crack pipe, and look at what YOU'RE dreaming up, what YOU wrote.. don't lay it on me.
