I've long said on these pages for years that I totally disagree with opulence and ostentatiousness

*So, the whole God-Ordered Ark and the setim wood and the linens etc were a real error on Gods part, huh?

What did you give your loved one as an engagement ring, a slice of dried apricot with a bullet hole in it?

I've been consistent over the years. I don't believe in opulence and ostentatiousness.

I did not support the opulence of the Crystal Cathedral, and I'd probably have opposed the opulence of St Peters.

It does not strike me as seemly for religious leaders to drape themselves in opulent, ostentatious displays of gold and jewels. Say what you want; I don't feel right about it.
