@Sandaledfungus4 I think you even as a non Christian can agree with the Corinthians verse

@Deleted User Capitalism and in effect materialism are directly responsible for mass immigration

Money is the root of all evil. This does not mean money is inheritly evil; but that where there is evil at the root of it is money

I would think a lot of good comes from it too

And the root of all evil is satan

@Deleted User Bible says money, which is of course manipulates by Satan

@Deleted User What good it causes is shadowed by the abundance of evil it produces

Like this decadent trans woman told me on discord that traditions, race, nationhood all that stuff doesn't matter because we're just carbon atoms. The universe is so big nothing matters. 'she' is really obsessed with science and thinks that's all that matters

It has made us godless, soulless, unhappy, and with little moral

She didn't say that word for word but that's basically what she always says

That's because we put money before god

@Sandaledfungus4 Nihilism is a disease

Which is a choice

Which we make

@Deleted User and those that make that choice are evil

God before all

Indeed

But they are not just evil people

They are directly influenced by Satan

But I can have a lot of money, and still be a god fearing man

Ephesians 6:12

**Ephesians 6:12 - Good News Translation (GNT)**

```Dust


<12> For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age. ```

@Deleted User Jesus said it is easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven

Well about that, have you looked into what that actually is referring to?

I would said you should not be richer than upper-middle class

@Deleted User yes, a rich man told God "I follow all your commands and have prayed constantly, what else must I do?" Jesus replied "Drop all your material wealth and follow me" the rich man looked in sadness and walked away

There's a lot of debate about the camel and the eye of a needle

Kamelos, the Greek word written could be a mistranslation of Kamlios

Kamilos, a thick rope

The eye of a needle also could be referring to a narrow gate in the city of Jerusalem, which was hard for large caravans to enter thru

Matthew 19:20-24

**Matthew 19:20-24 - Good News Translation (GNT)**

```Dust


<20> "I have obeyed all these commandments," the young man replied. "What else do I need to do?"<21> Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me."<22> When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was very rich. <23> Jesus then said to his disciples, "I assure you: it will be very hard for rich people to enter the Kingdom of heaven. <24> I repeat: it is much harder for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle."```

@Deleted User all translations carry the same meaning

Again, it's could be a mistranslation in the original GREEK text

And eye of a needle could refer to vernacular of the time

Original Hebrew*

The likeness of it being mistranslated so heavily that it says rich people can enter heaven as easily as normal people in the original is next to impossible

You are attempting to provide unfounded reason for it

Dude

I just told you
