God have mercy.
Don’t say anything against it, or else . . .
“If the American economy holds up long enough for us to enjoy our retirement portfolios, then Jesus’ words don’t have to be taken literally. If it falls apart, and we lose it all, then maybe we’ll have to revisit what Jesus said.”
What else did Jesus say?
“THE ONE THING you lack—go and sell all you have and give it to the poor, and come follow me.” (the guy went away sad, because he had a lot)
