It's the far more subtle cultural engineering that's the problem, and nearly universal these days. Ask anyone you know who they admire, whose principles they follow, and whose life they wish to emulate, and there is a virtual certainty they will name a rich person.

Tell them they can't say Jesus, either, but I suspect most won't even think of him.

Yea, just like how these religious mafia types, like ohios governor dewine, think that being rich is a measure of gods love for you lmao.

Thats why the previous religious mafia leader of ohio, kasich was dissing the harry potter star.

“You know that Daniel Radcliffe has declared himself an atheist?” Kasich said, apropos of nothing, according to a report in the Concord Monitor. “I’m serious. What a weird thing. Why would a guy who has had all that success just, I mean, what the hell is wrong with him?”

Radcliffe, the successful former child actor, has made no secret of his atheism, telling Esquire Magazine in 2009 that “I’m an atheist, but I’m very relaxed about it. I don’t preach my atheism …”

I like how my ancestor put it.

3. That the soule of a childe of God is safe, in the worst estate he can be in, in this life; but a wicked mans soule is in most danger when his estate is at best.

Let the Lord speake for both, out of his blessed word, we know he will not, nay, cannot but say true for either side. For the faithful and their safety first. Christ foretells Peter of as much misery as might befall him, when he signifies unto him that [Satan had a desire to wynnow him (with the rest) as wheate] that is, throughly, exactly, to the utmost; by which words he meant to give Peter to understand what miseryes he was like (for the truthes sake) to undergoe, and how it came to passe accordingly, by Gods permission of the Devil, and the power, and malice of his adherents, the story of his denial before Christs death; and the relation of his life, and death, in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, doth abundantly evidence, and declare. But wherewith did Christ comfort Peter, when he tolde him of this outward discomfort and danger? why even with this very thing, *[but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith faile not] which was as much as to say; though many persecutions, and perills may surprise thee, to the endangering of thy life, even unto the death, yet know, thy soules estate shall be secured, the power of grace in thee, the assurance of glory to thee, shall in no wise faile, that shall stand fast for ever, whatsoever becometh of thy temporal part, which will perish.

Man hard to understand stuff people wrote 400 years ago, but I think what he means is that god saves the hardest trials for those who would be tempted by the devil the most.

Having material things is no different, its just another temptation in this world and most of our leaders have failed this test. All they want to do is horde piles of shiny stones.

Thats why I say, I kinda hope jesus does exist. And I hope he would judge the human race accordingly. We have lost our way.

Turd burglar thinks his wealth affords him the right to dictate others lives. He attempts to mimic butch lesbian women so as to avoid violent confrontation.
