@BowsacNoodle @lonestarr @Jonaschuzzlewit @bobbala @Type_Other @WoodshopHandman @peemasons There's somewhat of a real point in there, but most (nearly all?) American Christians miss it entirely. Universally in my experience, which is not insignificant, they talk about "love of money [more than God]" as if it's some vague feeling or intangible philosophical position, like being dissatisfied with your career or being covetous of your neighbor's wife's huge knockers. Something that's an internal fight that you can only just praaay harder about and feel guilty over.

They entirely miss the point. In terms they can understand, it's about standard of living. That's really what money boils down to. American Christians vooote and praaay and feel guilty for petty shit (she has some nice tiddies, after all) then sit on their comfy couch in their detached single-family house in a decent neighborhood and watch a paid streaming service on their big tv before microwaving some $30/bag pizza rolls (or whatever they're up to now) and going to sleep in their air conditioned room with a pillow-top memory foam mattress. The next day they complain about how the country's going to shit and everything's expensive and crime is through the roof and the situation is hopeless. Never would they dare consider selling all their possessions to raise capital and then sleeping in gutters and foxholes for three years while fighting to take their country back. Never ever. They won't even consider living in a studio apartment in the ugly part of town and reading field manuals every night in between practicing soldering. They won't even cancel Netflix to help pay down their credit card debt. They won't fucking stop buying soda to stop being a fat fuck. That wouldn't be comfortable. They love money (comfort) more than the path of righteousness.
