Gee, I'm impressed. It took you weeks to respond with this.

BTW, you have no idea how I use (and plan to use) the assets
I have. Did you not recall "Judge not, lest you be judged"
when you were thinking back to scripture?

Well, that certainly invalidates my point.

It's all about you, is it then?

Actually, it isn't. It was merely my commentary on
the irony of The Annual Feast of the Conspicuous Consumption
being committed in the name of One who would doubtless
rather the same money be spent on starving children
than on iPods.

Or do you think He would not?






However, since you felt it necessary to bring it up, I will
ask at this point: how do you think that He regards your
alleged millions, in light of his Words (which you briskly
snipped):


Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave me no drink:

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not:
sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison,
and did not minister unto thee?

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as
ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous
into life eternal.


Hey, maybe He was just joking around here. We'll find out. Or perhaps
we won't.
