Comment comment by VnutZ on 12 March 2008

Forgive me father for I have farted and added to the global warming crisis with my methane. I also sinned by driving my jalopy to 15 miles to church causing me to emit NO, CO and CO2 into the atmosphere while consuming 2 gallons of the precious oil. After a car accident this week, which turned my socially unjust Cadillac Escalade into a jalopy, I also partook in a genetically modified medicines in order to save my life. But I did give $2 in alms today.

Obscenely Wealthy by ldsudduth :: NR6

One of the sins the Vatican has added is being Obscenely Weathly. Arguabley the wealthiest man in the Old Testament was Solomon. Solomon was not only the ruler of Israel, but he is considered to be a wise man. He was also the wealthiest; some estimates put his annual income at $25-50 million in todays dollars. he controlled the Aegean trade route to Asia--equal to controlling both the Straits of Gibralter and the Suez Canal; along with the Panama canal.

Other 'obscenely wealthy' biblical people of note: Abraham, Job (lost all as the subject of a test between God and Satan, and subsequently rewarded double), and Joseph of Arimathea (put Christ's Body in the Holy Sepulchre).

It looks like the Vatican is ignoring some pertinent facts.
