| Religion teaches us that we must be giving to one another. Only by renouncing things of this world can we be saved.
Remember the rich dude who came to Jesus and said "What must I do to be saved"
"Do you keep the 10 commandments"
"well Duh... I keep all them. But there has to be something else"
"OK, I'll tell you where its at...
That Jaguar you go parked out there? Sell it. And give up that gold. Sell your house. Give up the chicks and the booze and the party life. Stop going to the disco looking to score. Sell that sterio. Sell that Harley you been riding. Sell them diamond rings and that gold medellion. Give it all up and follow me."
So he goes away in a huff.
Jerusalem Slim has an answer to it all.
Its easier for a camel to get through an eye of a needle than for than a rich dude to get into heaven.
Something to ponder while buying your next car. |
