You have a lot more confidence than I do as to intentions. Comparing America to the rest of the world -- what is excessive? Do you think the apostles lived as Americans do today? "Try me, see if I will not open the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing which you cannot contain." -- I see this much differently than you. It all depends where a man's heart is, and when I see a $100,000 BMW with license plates that say "AWSMGOD", it makes me sick. Where is the 10 year old car with that bumper sticker -- and not driven by a mentally handicapped person (with 10 other bumper stickers on the car? Much more is in the Bible about the love of money being bad, hard for a rich man to enter Heaven, and asking the rich, young ruler to go and sell all he had and give to the poor than the twisted few verses the prosperity gospel preachers use to fill their coffers. When we see athletes making $100,000 each time they touch a ball or put on a particular brand of sneaker and actors making $1 million per episode while mentally ill people roam the streets and inner-city children go hungry, there is a great deal wrong with the picture. The stock market and its importance is the poster child for what is wrong with America today. The widow's mite was much more honored by God than Bill Gates giving away a few hundred million dollars. Sure there are lots of honest, sincere, giving people. But watching those in control of most of the nation's wealth leaves little hope for what is to come. I remain, SOROS
