Yeah... and that whole parable about a rich man having an easier time entering heaven than a camel passing through the eye of a needle...
Being that Christianity is a global religion, let's use global standards. If you have running, clean water, regular access to food, and electricity, guess what? By global standards you, my friend, are a rich man. No heaven for you.

If Heaven was my end game I would be shaking in my boots..
A Relationship with God is what I want, and a relationship with is what He has seen fit to give me. (along with the wealth you speak of) So appearently, even if I do not have a place in heaven, I still get the relationship that I seek from God. And who knows maybe He will let me have a place here on Earth along with everyone else, after this life is over..
