From the New Testament.

"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Now I don't know what God considers Rich, but I am sure that he could find them in the top 1%.

Like I said, it is up to God to determine who he considers Rich.

Of the 1%'ers, how many do you think, give heavily to the charities of their choice, instead of having it taken from them to give to the Presidents buddies?

Also from the New Testament;

Quote:
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 ¶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Get back to me when there are no rich liberals. Until such time as that happens you're just trying to score political points by pointing a finger at the other guys while your guys are guilty of the same thing.

Well sounds like they will have to plead their case to God. That is between him and them. Good luck with that.

When will this class warfare end with you liberals? Many of those so-called evil 1%ers are also employers and job creators. Many also are very philanthropic with their wealth. Why are you concerned with the afterlife of wealthy people?

You know what else is in the bible?

Quote:
thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Jealousy.
