The Love of Money

In the day of prosperity preaching, with a bloated Wall-street and greed flowing from the top 1% we need to focus on what really matters. Many people have either forgotten or never knew that the Gospel was directed towards the poor and needy. The false prophets have fooled many into thinking that Jesus favored the rich. To this end I have produced the video "The Love of Money" which goes through the Biblical passages about the rich, the poor, banks (Wall-street) and taxation. Are you sick of Right-wingers claiming to be somehow morally superior, more spiritual and closer to God while fighting for lower taxes on the rich, cutting food stamps, welfare and all other aid to the poor and the middle class? Well, the next time it happens just show them this video or quote some of the passages from it. I have produce this video to show what the Bible has to say about the poor, the rich, taxes and banksters.

...and I certainly think Christians (I'm not one myself) are being pretty hypocritical when they worship power and wealth the way right-wingers do, but in this video that case is being made in a loopy-sounding way combined with very amateur production values.

I only got about a third of the way into the video when I couldn't take it any longer.

Although I should try to reach out to you with the saving message of Christ, I realizes that the Right has so degraded that message that many will not receive it. I will say however, that this video gives you all the ammunition that you will need to deal with those who claim the moral high-ground while attacking the poor. I hope that you and others will find it to be useful.
