Chip off some of the Gold

[Dragon*of*Heaven]

Alright we have all see the Christan's asking for every one to give so they may help the poor the sick and the starving. And then we have all heard them scorn us for not giving enough or not giving at all.

Now lets go to the source of the Christan movement. The HOLY ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH of which my mother is a member of. Ok now it is Fact that the Roman Catholic Churches foundation rests on the Vatican. And it is a fact that the Vatican is not only the smallest of all recognized nations, it is also among the richest and most vastly protected. It even houses many historical artifacts.

This being true I ask, Why dint you start your giving at home. Or in other words.

Jesus: "If your slate is clean then you may throw stones! If your slate is not then leave her alone!"

Or do you recall Jesus running the merchants out of the temple.

Let your giving start with you! Your vestments should not be imported of the best linens and silks. Your goblet not of Gold and silver. Stay true to your origins be of regular garment, And drink of the cup of a carpenter. Begin with training your own opulence before you accuse me of mine!

Too True; but they would reply that the lady who gave a coin when all she had was a coin versus the man who gave 100 coins when he had 1000 coins gave more then the man. Also they would albeit diplomatically say what they have they earned and is on display for the public to see so they are giving to the people. Of course there is a fifty dollar fee to see the Vatican but that isn't important.

True that is probably how they would respond The Reservoir Dog but then why not give all they had. They could do so much good.

Oh but according to them having the vatican and its works on public display is in fact giving. They are so full of shit, but what are you going to do?
