Can it be that they are so stupid to choose money, fame and/or power for the little time they dwell on earth..... ?
Any ideas..?
Yeah, here's a novel idea, put down your Bible and your pocketbook, go out and volunteer your time to help those less fortunate than you. If you're on a computer right now, trust me, there are those less fortunate than you. Look them in the eye, live on their level for at least part of the day, do something to make them feel better about themselves and just.......be their friend. And if you can muster the courage, don't judge them while you're being nice. You can make all the money you want, go to church and say God approves of you making an honest living all you want.........helping others for the sake of it is about as honest as you can get bro.
And at the end of the day, a honest mans pillow is his peace of mind.

Whoa, whoa. What do you mean, you're one of them?
You're right. And I'm one of 'em. But we're not the same one's you're talking about because we actually matter. Most of the "common" folk put "God" and money on the same pedestal. One that's above them in the sense that people put so much stock in them in their own way, that they forget about the real world around them. Religious people spend so much time preparing for eternity that most forget to live in the here and now, and the money hungry among us buy their way through it all with numbers that are on pieces of paper. They're both delusional, and at the end of the day we all sit back and wonder why sh** doesn't get done. Some people are so blind it amazes me that they can walk upright.
Yes. It can be and it is. But do you know the difference between people who who use money to judge people and "God" to judge people? None. You're using God to judge those who use money to judge you. You're both in the same pit of despair IMO.

So in order to prove to yourself that your belief is true, you just look at an opposing group.
Any group can use the same excuse saying that there is a so-called "evil" opposing group and therefore their belief must be true...
You ignore all of the links I sent you about the illuminati actually FORCING Christianity on others...

To be quite honest, that is one of the most bizarre things I have EVER read on ATS...
Do you have a source for this, maybe a little evidence?

Most of the "religious" people I know don't come near putting God and money on the same pedestal. Some volunteer the their time to help those outcast by society , and others do their best with the time and the little money they have.
To judge all religious people so harshly is unwise, for there are many good and kind souls with a deep faith in God, that belong to religious organizations.
do you know the difference between people who who use money to judge people and "God" to judge people? None. You're using God to judge those who use money to judge you. You're both in the same pit of despair IMO.
and so the cycle of judgement continues, judging the ones who judge those who judge others..(we are guilty of judging, and sometimes judgement is needed)

Great ideas, that we should all aspire to. Those that I know that do this very thing, are "common religious" people with nothing to profit, and live very modest lives materially, and have no desire for great material gain.
There are also more affluent "religious folk" who do much to help those less fortunate, and I think they need to be acknowledged as well. I am speaking of all types of religions.

These people as they are called (Jews)may have no choice in that they are compelled to create this One World Government and Global E -money .
Just a suggestion here, but whatever your personal views of the world are, keep them behind closed doors where personal issues belong. When you step outside, put your business hat on and remember that there's a difference between being personable and being personal. Practice principles before personalities and you might be surprised at how effectively this world can actually be run. And this goes for everyone in every corner of the globe.
One of "them", meaning of the "elite" class of people who are better than most others in the way we view the world and the people in it.
But until that time comes, you're damn right that me and people like me are going to view ourselves as better than it all because, simply put..............we are.
One day you're going to wake up and see me and mine miles ahead of you and wonder why we didn't wait for you. Sorry, life's too short. Go cry in your coffee about it but come come bitchin' to us. We tried.
I don't judge people. I don't see differences
"Studies conducted by the Pew Research Center have found that, generally, poorer nations had a larger proportion of citizens who found religion to be very important than richer nations"

Yes they know something about God, absolutely nothing is what they know of him, if they did and actually knew who he was and what he will do they'd be quaking in their shoes, they'd give all their money to the poor and be humble the rest of their lives. Ofcourse they don't serve Yahweh (or IEUE) Elohim a.k.a. Jesus the Christ, they serve Mammon (material wealth and money) which is why the system is so damned corrupt now, it's geared towards feeding their gluttonous selves more cash.edit on 13-9-2012 by lonewolf19792000 because: (no reason given)
Psalm 73
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Truly God is good to the upright,*
to those who are pure in heart.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
my steps had nearly slipped.
3 For I was envious of the arrogant;
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For they have no pain;
their bodies are sound and sleek.
5 They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not plagued like other people.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace;
violence covers them like a garment.
7 Their eyes swell out with fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8 They scoff and speak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against heaven,
and their tongues range over the earth.
10 Therefore the people turn and praise them,*
and find no fault in them.*
11 And they say, ‘How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?’
12 Such are the wicked;
always at ease, they increase in riches.
13 All in vain I have kept my heart clean
and washed my hands in innocence.
14 For all day long I have been plagued,
and am punished every morning.
15 If I had said, ‘I will talk on in this way’,
I would have been untrue to the circle of your children.
16 But when I thought how to understand this,
it seemed to me a wearisome task,
17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;
then I perceived their end.
18 Truly you set them in slippery places;
you make them fall to ruin.
19 How they are destroyed in a moment,
swept away utterly by terrors!
20 They are* like a dream when one awakes;
on awaking you despise their phantoms.
21 When my soul was embittered,
when I was pricked in heart,
22 I was stupid and ignorant;
I was like a brute beast towards you.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterwards you will receive me with honour.*
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength* of my heart and my portion for ever.
27 Indeed, those who are far from you will perish;
you put an end to those who are false to you.
28 But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
to tell of all your works.
