There are some dumb things to be found in that book. The above is one example. I marvel at the good works of people such as Bill & Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet. Good people use money to do even more good; bad people use money to do more bad. Money is just a tool. Would you call a saw or a hammer evil?
Personally, I would love to be able to fund scholarships for poor but gifted students at home and open up computer schools for kids in Africa.
Unfortunately, much of the bible is geared toewards nothing more than keeping the impoverished masses as docile as sheep. "Don't worry about the injustice and inequity in this life as you will be rewarded with an eternity on a puffy cloud in the next if you just toe the party line."
Good grief. The stuff some people swallow.
