Exactly, which shows the wisdom of God allowing us to suffer by all sorts of things.... according to hadiths attributed to the Imams, God favored the poor and oppressed over the rich, and is trying the rich and well off people by the oppressed and poor.
Paradise was meant for poor and oppressed, and rich have to earn it through how they treat poor and oppressed and strive for their rights.
Humanity will one day all be wealthy according to hadiths (a real economic utopia as well as moral utopia) when Imam Mahdi establishes justice on earth but until our hearts are ready to love one another and love his chosen guardian and through his channelling of God's Love, God then for the most part wealth is a trial by which Quran warns not to feel that God has favored anyone through but rather are being tried and for the most part people perish due to it.
And sometimes education makes one according to Quran like past nations, feel pride in the knowledge they are given, and not in need of the higher type!
What a stinking, inhumane, pustulent load of manipulative ad hoc crap THAT is.
The reason that the poor tend to be more religiously-mined than the wealthy is that the poor are easier for the priest class to manipulate - the wealthy aren't usually attracted to the promise of a better life in some imaginedhereafter, as their lives here-and-now are already pretty fucking good.
But the poor (and I'm not talking Too-bad-we-can't-buy-Jimmy-that-new-bike-for-his-birthday kind of poor, but Too-bad-we-can't-buy-Jimmy-any-food-this-week kind of poor) tend to be in such dire straits that they are the low hanging fruit of the missionary world. Just be good, do what [insert name of beloved imaginary friend here], give us what little money you have, and you will - after another 30 or 40 years of watching your malnourished, diseased, vermin-ridden friends and family die from everything from scurvy and diabetes to starvation and exposure - get to Paradise.
Fuck you, MK, you heartless prick. Fuck anyone who thinks like you, and - while I'm at it - fuck your false Prophet and his even more false God. You are a boil on the buttocks of compassion.
