  • Unless *gasp* you don't REALLY believe that foolishness either? makes for good fiction though doesn't it? Sells tickets to put warm asses in church.
  • Your question presumes all Christians to be greedy. It would be foolhardy for anybody to divest himself/herself of all material wealth while still having to survive on earth. I am all for charity and giving portions of one's goods to benefit others, but realistically, I, like anybody else, Christian or non-Christian alike, have to survive. I have a family to raise and work to do for the society. By doing both responsibly, I glorify the God that I profess. These all require having financial resources available. (God provides money as a tool. Money itself is not evil, but the love of money provokes evil, covetous behavior in the efforts to obtain it. Christians are entitled to money for their labors just like anyone else.) These are indeed the "end times," in that the return of Christ Jesus is yet closer than when it was prophesied in the Scriptures written 2000 years ago. The Bible cautions against thinking that the Lord is slack because He has not already returned. You would be wise to anticipate His return and repent of your unbelief.
  • Hrrrm...I still identify with the Christian religion, and i dont think the world is going to end. This 2012 stuff reminds me of Y2K...all bloody stupid ((Omg if the world does end, i will feel SO stupid, haha)) As for being greedy, my father donates about $70 a month to various charities. Some Indian school in Wyoming, retired vets who need assistance, ASPCA (upon my request) and to an AIDS oriented charity. Considering he lives off 1 pension and retirement, making less than $23,000 a year, i think hes pretty generous. Of course, it could always be more...but it's probably more than most people donate.
