Christ was a big-time liberal when it came to riches versus poverty, and he also said to go ahead and pay Caesar his taxes. The only reason the right-wing Christians promote low taxes for the rich is that they made an unholy alliance with the big corporate polluters and fat cats in the GOP back in the 70's, and that tandem has gotten them ahead as a party. Actually christianity and big corporate interests have nothing else in common but front men like GW Bush and lobbyists like Ed Gillespie of Enron and the RNC. Because of their alliance the white Baptists actually support increased pollution, corporate welfare and sticking it to the middleclass. Ironically most white Baptists ARE middle class or lower.

< Christ’s message was not saying it was more difficult for a rich man to enter heaven, but rather that a rich man was equally helpless left to his own devices to pass God’s judgment. >

Quit trying to tell Jesus what he meant to say...

Matthew 6

19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
