“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god.” “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.” “But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep.”

For the record, I’m an atheist. But this was one of the main things Jesus talked about.

Christians love this image when it’s time to engage with an argument based on their own fucking text. do you even read the Bible?

so what’s your deal? i’m just puzzled by your stance cuz that meme is typically used by Christian Nationalists to justify the less pleasant parts of the Bible. do you just think the Bible is like, down with hoarding wealth and unimaginable greed? it’s not. lol. no matter how much Christian Nationalism insists it is.

yk christianity is older than calvinism right? this whole idea of poverty being a moral failure started during the protestant revolution. it's only baked into society now because mainstream protestantism became the main sects for western christians. additionally, the rules regarding usury changed, and it gave way to a modern economy based on interest. just a small history lesson since you seem like you need it

“Rich people can get bent” is one of the oldest and most consistent messages in any of the Bible, and as OP pointed out yes it does manifest through Jesus in the Gospels as well
