Opinion: You forfeit the right to call yourself a Christian when you condemn the poor and idolize the rich.

You have no business pretending to be a Christian when you condemn the poor and worship the rich.
President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the "War on Poverty" in 1964. He proposed this legislation as part of his broader "Great Society" agenda, aiming to address poverty and create a better quality of life for all Americans. But now, there is a war on the poor. Fake radical right-wing Christians who don’t know anything about Jesus are condemning and picking on those on Social Security and beneficiaries of Medicaid. Meanwhile, they worship the billionaires.
The biblical verse "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" is found in Matthew 19:24.
Jesus went into the Temple and threw out all the people who were buying and selling there. He turned over the tables of those who were exchanging different kinds of money, and he upset the benches of those who were selling doves.
The verse "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy 6:10) highlights the dangers of an unhealthy obsession with wealth, warning that it can lead to various forms of evil and spiritual harm.
It emphasizes that it's not money itself that is evil, but the love of money that can corrupt and lead people astray. Again, you have no business pretending to be a Christian when you condemn the poor and worship the rich.
