Wealth, Poverty, and Morality
by SecondRateMind ini am interested in the approach this forum takes to money.
apart from sex, (which i am quite relaxed about) it seems to me that wealth is the surest divider between those who are moral, and those who are not.. it seems jesus thought so, also.
luke 16:19-31 kjv describes well enough his dusty attitude to the rich who do not succour the poor.. and this world has many poor: so many, it might seem that we can do nothing about it, and twist his words; 'the poor ye shall have always with you, but me, ye shall not have always.

He still can't see the contradiction, despite it being pointed out again and again.
This is what 'faith' does to an otherwise intelligent mind.Yep. Although the ‘otherwise intelligent mind’ part has yet to be determined in srm’s case.
