[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=flyer]Many believers and nonbelievers help others in countless ways, but just don’t talk about it. As far as we’re concerned, that’s another part of enjoying life, and we’re glad to help.[/quote]
this sounds like zero fun.
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” (Mark 10:21-23).
and jesus said to the piggingtonians, worry not about the earnings of next quarter or the academic pedigrees of thy children, the size of your deals or your refinance rates. look at the california poppies, they dont worry much nor do they take prozac, and yet trump in all his glory never had a tie so finely colored. truly i say, abandon this stupid website and stop thinking about monry.

too often it seems,… in a world w/ out an “official” sanctioned religion,…money is the g-d all people worship
sadly in a world w/ out an “official” sanctioned religion when money is the g-d all people worship, seems its taboo for the most part to point this out
They Live (1988) – Obey, Consume, This is Your God
looking at the issue as an amateur Judeo-Christian theologist, “believers” reading the OT know before g-d gave Moses the fifteen (opps,… 10 commandments)
Moses Ten Commandments Mel Brooks
the people (then like now) put their faith in,…
The Golden Calf (Moses Ten Commandments “movie scene”)
point being, there is a long history of mankind falsely worshiping money,… and reading between the lines of the moses story, perhaps the first commandment of g-d should be interpreted as warning about the evils of worshiping money
moving on,… ironic the OP was posted around “easter” because false worship of $$$ also is mentioned in the NT,… specifically lets consider the only time JC throws a violent $hitfit
Jesus Cleanses the Temple of the Moneychangers
since you have referenced the specific passage about JC worshiping material goods

Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.”
perhaps what you might want to reconsider the importance of tradition Judeo-Christian religious teachings, is actually a warning of sorts,…. in other words, don’t blindly worship money because there are various “social costs” that one should always be mindful of
sadly given human nature bias toward “fun” as you put it, pretty sure my amateur Judeo-Christian theologist interpretation of so called holy text, has an impossible to win fight in a world where no talent ass clowns preach the prosperity gospel to $hit for brains
[quote] A televangelist wants his followers to pay for a $54 million private jet. It’s his fourth plane.
If Jesus were to descend from heaven and physically set foot on 21st-century Earth, prosperity gospel televangelist Jesse Duplantis told his followers, the Redeemer would probably take a pass on riding on the back of a donkey: “He’d be on an airplane preaching the gospel all over the world.”
