You and your friend may well end up in the same place together, but it may not be where you think you're headed.

Is that really in the bible?

Thats some fucked up shit.

However with transporter technology I do not see why it would be hard to beam a camel through an eye of a needle to be re-assembled on the other side.
Or maybe we just need to make bigger needles?

Directly from JC himself, according to at least three eyewitnesses.

Er... well, according to what those three eyewitnesses allegedly saw and told someone about that was relayed to a guy who finally wrote it down decades later, that is.

But yeah, JC was not keen on wealth generally speaking. Remember he went to town on the moneychangers in the temple, railing against the slaughter of animals and the profit made from the practice:

"When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the Temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords and drove all from the Temple, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables." (John 2:13-16)

People getting rich off of other people's piety, as opposed to just 'getting rich', are particularly heinous when considered in this context. Like that link that was posted. Or any tv ministry. Or the holy roman church, which is the undisputed single largest aggregator of material wealth the world has ever known or is likely ever to.

Some purist adherents do take vows of poverty, they believe the pursuit of the mundane gain gets in the way of the ecclesiatical. Some have even taken the disdain of the mundane to extreme limits, with such actions as self-castration. Wacky. Gives an idea where these wackjobs who figure they can snipe abortion doctors comes from though.

Of course, the neo-christos today have found 666 reasons why THEY shouldn't have to be poor, or why THEY'RE allowed to be fat bastards (which in another time would be considered sloth or gluttony), essentially interpreting away anything they feel is inconvenient. It's part of the whole inherent hypocrisy of claiming a document which has undergone thousands of years of human editing is the 'one irrefutable word of god'.
