"...but no way this lady would fit her camel through the eye of a needle to get into heaven!"

What do you mean? That monstrosity, for all its ugliness, is probably going to provide a livelihood for hundreds of families from around. You are aware, aren't you, that comment of yours has 'Socialism' painted all over it?

No, my comment does not have “socialism” written all over it unless the teachings of my Lord Jesus Christ can be called socialist. His quote was that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven.

Now I am rather flexible on what is a “rich man”- many people would consider my family as “rich”. We have worked hard, sacrificed, and have probably not given nearly enough away to help people who have so much less becasue of little or no fault of their own.

However, there is “rich” and there is selfish narcissim. imho.

While I support free markets and personal freedoms, I see this and call it as a monstrous selfish expenditure on a personal residence. That it should be in Mumbai, India - in the midst of one of humanity’s greatest pockets of human suffering - is beyond the pale. But the woman who commmissioned this monstrosity will be judged for her decisions by her own God, someday.
