Excellent Point, one of the few on the thread that actually is not a personal attack.

Really? God's okay with you violating the 10th Commandment? What are the 10 Commandments good for if you can just pick and choose which ones to abide by? This is all news to me since I'm not a church-goer. Maybe you can explain since you're an expert on this?

Whew.......... I'm safe!

...but what happens if you're just mildly well off? Do I get to hang with the loose women and have access to liquor in the after-life?

Not an expert, but the bible is easy to read. Very simply it is this.

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" (Matthew 22:36 NIV). Jesus replied, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:37-40 NIV)

Nice. But you failed to answer my question. How are you "okay with God" when you so overtly violate the 10th Commandment? Aren't those God's Laws that one needs to abide by in order to get into heaven? How do you reconcile your extreme jealousy of the wealthy with your religion's laws?

The Christian religion hoards more wealth than any other religion on the planet. None of them own anything though. Belongs to the church
