Too bad most christians don't even bother to follow that advice.

That's OK, neither do atheists. But they still manage to consider themselves to be intellectual elites and manage to take unnecessary jabs at religious people for no good reason.

So you're saying that I should have called you out on your behavior directly?

And tell me, is this comment one that reflects that "people are individuals"?

You are a hyppocrit, NeedKarma.

Awful spelling aside, you think that non-christians take their economic/finance advice from the bible? I think you lost the track of the conversation. My comment actually fits perfectly: christian or not, people are fiscally responsible because they are such as individuals, not because they read the bible.

So what you are saying is you missed the entire point of the thread.

Very good.

In a nutshell since you probably don't want to read the passages ... People tend to forget the times of plenty when there is scarcity . Joseph was able to prevent a catastrophy and famine during a time of scarcity by proper preparation and saving during the times of plenty for the bad times.

Do you mean to say Tom that the granaries aren't full to overflowing and more today? Ours are but we still aren't able to avert famine and incidentally those famines aren't too far away from Joseph's Egypt. We still haven't overcome our willingness to kill and mame for no better reason than thinking differently, Caveman economics in action

GMO may not be caveman thinking... but that and food irradiation would go a long way to eradication of famine.

How sophisticated is our thinking anyway? One commentator thinks that our economies are run by cavemen and caveman economics

I apologize for this but I just can't help myself.

Does anybody want to swap a mammoth tusk for a stone axe?

I agree irradiation of the planet would go a long way to eradicate famine, GMO was caveman thinking, where do you think we got modern food plants from, they selected the best and kept planting the best, the tools just got better is all
