1. A recent post here made me realize something I'd forgotten about the drive for wealth and power:
Jesus said:

"As on Earth, so shall it be in Heaven."

I strongly disagree with the literal translation, but it surely fits the mindset and provides all the cover they could ever want for taking Christ out of Christianity.

Modern Xtianity thrives on reinterpretation of the good books.

2. Jesus blesses me with wealth because I'm worthy.
Thank Jim and Tammy Baker (from my back yard) for some of that.

3. What's you're point?
Each day, millions and millions of American citizens turn on their expensive desktops, laptops and cellphones so that they can log on to an expensive internet connection and complain about how OTHERS do not care about the those in need, where somebody tells them they agree that OTHERS should do more.

Yeah, pretty awesome.

6. Church parking lots are notoriously filled with nice cars
Tool around some churches on a fine Sunday morning, especially in the 'burbs

They're like exclusive clubs
