8. To be fair it doesn't say sell ALL your possessions

Matthew 19:21 New International Version (NIV)

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”


Metaphorical Jesus was actually saying it really doesn't matter how much you steal from the poor and deny them basic prevention against terminal disease so long as you throw them a bone on their deathbed.

You know, kinda like how the RCC and LDS rake in billion$, yet only provide the tiniest fraction of that to those in need. How else are you going to afford to send child raping priests pending prosecution to South American countries with lax enforcement of child molestation laws?
