God evidently likes Reform Jews and Hindus best.

[Oliver Brendan Hayve]

I know I'll get an infraction for posting this, but here goes. Christians love to say that God shows His love for them by giving them worldly blessings. Yet according to this article:

Reform Jews are the wealthiest religious group in America, and Hindus are the best educated. Also, liberal Christians such as Episcopalians do better than conservative Christians, and Baptists are below average in both income and education. Still, at least you people are doing better than the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Pentecostals.

You're using the Joo York Times to knock Christianity?

Re: God evidently likes Reform Jews and Hindus best.

You are torturing statistics from a Jewish "newspaper". The Mafia were pretty rich - does that mean God likes them? Jiggaboo dictators have $Millions in Switzerland - is that good?
Matt:16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Dot-heads live in poverty in their own country and ignorance of Christ in the US. Ec:1:17: And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
Ec:1:18: For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Re: God evidently likes Reform Jews and Hindus best.

Christians love to say that God shows His love for them by giving them worldly blessings.

What you are implying is that God shows His approval by sending gifts. And that earthly possessions are the principal sign of God's love. Is that your point, blasphemer? Should we be so insecure about what God loves? What God loves is in the Bible for everyone to read, and I can guarantee you that most of all he loves those who love Him and His word! Yes, I thank the Lord for everything he provides, as opposed to the atheist who thank noone but himself. But that doesn't mean that the one with the most money is most loved by God.

Matthew 16:26 "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

Actually God gave us something better than money. And that is what counts.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever beliveth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Did the JYT bother to survey Landoverians?

Of course not, as it would blow their little anti-Christian theory out of the water.
