What do you think of these 3 rules of life?

Matthew 6:33

1 - Charity takes away loneliness

2 - Prayer takes away sin

3 - Fasting takes away poverty and danger

1. Charity work or volunteering can help with loneliness so I'd agree. But lonely people can feel unsure about approaching events because they won't know anyone. Sometimes the worst place to be alone is in a crowd.

2. Prayer doesn't take away sin. Nothing does bar the forgiveness of those wounded by it. If you steal then having a prayer the next day doesn't wipe the slate clean. Try and live a life that doesn't negatively affect others and if you slip up say sorry. People are remarkably understanding if you're genuine.

3. This one just sounds evil to me. We have an abundance of food in the world so no one should be starving. Convincing the poor to fast rather than feeding them doesn't sit well with me. It's something greedy rich people suggest as an alternative to paying a decent wage.

Sounds like what a Christian would say. Christians are all a bunch of nutcses.
