the gospel of Matthew, chapter 19 verse 24, quotes Jesus as saying, in an incredibly direct manner:
"And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." (King James Version)
very few of Jesus' edicts are as plainly spoken as that. why, then, isn't being rich illegal in our country? are we careening down a path toward pure evil? Jesus never issued any such straightforward edicts against practicing gay sex, for example. i propose that in order to fully accept the true spirit of the gospels, and to return our morals to god's and nature's true way, we must concentrate on getting this amendment into every state constitution, as well as the federal one.
once we try to embrace Jesus’ true spirit in our constitutions by making it illegal to have material possessions, only then should we turn our attentions to the issues of the obvious evils of shared human love and compassion.

I don't think I've ever heard it better stated. I completely agree... Seems the conditional interpretation of everything by the government always has a backdoor or an extended meaning that fits into whatever cause will garner more votes and up the hatred level. Sad.
