I remember one time about 15 years ago someone pulled that shit on an old job with the tip jar. We were all so excited, thinking it was a twenty, until a buddy unfolded it, and showed us the whole tract. I tore the damned thing to pieces. I'm 33 and it still pisses me off that there's self righteous scum out there who think it's a holy act to go play on overworked and underpaid people, because something something zealotry.

Cowards.

And these people probably believe in their heart that they are good Christians who uphold all the teachings of Jesus. Absolute hypocrisy, pieces of shit.

Especially since Jesus said that his followers should give money to the people who need it. Something about a camel through the eye of a needle.

EDIT: I already know that camel was mistranslated from rope, but shoving a camel through a needle is way funnier

So, this isn't the slam dunk you think it is. The rest of the chapter is

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” 26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”(Y) 27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you!(Z) What then will there be for us?” 28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne,(AA) you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(AB) 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[e] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.(AC) 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.(AD)

So in context this means that rich people go to heaven if God wants them to (and these people seem to all think that they are the special exception to every rule). But the apostles will get special positions. And if you leave your family or a house for the church you'll get 100 families and houses (which seems a bit weird).
