Two thousand years ago....99.9999-percent of people existing on the Earth....were marginally getting by. Anyone who participated in Christianity in the those days....were poor. So, I don’t get where exactly this essay is going.

Disagree: Lydia was a business woman; Zaccheaus was rich, Joseph of Arimathea was rich; Philemon was most likely well off; doubt if the Apostle Paul started off poor. Christianity’s appeal is that is attracts those of all classes, education, race, gender and ethnicity.

Jesus loved all, He had a special love for those cast aside by society, but even the rich need someone to reach them.

It's a strange way of saying we are no longer a nation of laws.

The rich get a pass because they can pay lobbyists to get congress to declare their unethical behavior to be legal.

The poor get a pass because the people feel sorry for them.

The middle class gets left holding the bag.

To your point, I think it was t so well a few weeks back with an essay tge theme of which was all men are born into poverty. It’s up to them to become prosperous

Beyond tgat tgis article is simply illogical It’s unreadable in its incoherence
