So laying aside that we all make money in different ways - and accepting that what you're probably referring to is the amount of money made...a quick survey of the richest people in the world should give us a relative measure of which faith tradition is more accurate, eh?
You wanna hang your hat on that? Is that what it's all about?
Bill gates, on record, doesn't believe your bullshit. He's number 1.
Vlad Putin, wears a cross, feels that it's no one business - so a different sort of christian than yourself, number 2.
Slim Helu, a maronite - you lose again.
Warren Buffet - agnostic - you lose..yet again.
But fuck these guys, statistical outliers I say!
How about studies which correlate wealth and organized religion? Guess what, you lose again. The median net worth of individuals who follow your religious tradition is -lower- than the median net worth of an individual in our country. Let me translate that for you, in case your illiteracy has you struggling (and god hasn't miracled any understanding of that statement to you, yet).....that means that people who believe in your god are poor compared to people who don't.
Or maybe...just maybe......the relative wealth of yourself, or myself, has no power to demonstrate the accuracy of a god claim-nothing to do with miracles or their originating point. What do you think?
(can I make a suggestion, btw, if you're doing better than I am and so have the cash and time to spare? Invest in some community college courses on biology)
