Then you must know that The Biblical god and the divine version of Jesus were both creations based on earlier made up myths and stories?



Or rather, you would have found some other deity, mentor, group or outlet to help you get your life in order with pretty much the same results.
Maybe one day you'll figure it out for yourself. Oh wait, you already have.

pertaining to wealth:

"...when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them... your heart is lifted up and you forget the Lord your God. ... [Y]ou say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’ ... [i]f you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods... you shall surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God." (Deuteronomy 8:10-20)

This was a warning to Ancient Israel, yet America would do well to give this scriptural text some serious thought now.
