God Got Gold

Sure, as long as the rich are fed. Some things never change. A sad limerick, Rico. Well written, but hit me hard thinking of how much food prices are going up and how little people can afford to buy anymore. Hugs, Carolyn

Hello Rico ... what's the good of being the richest man in the cemetery unless you're only visiting of course. Money is God and millions worship it - thanks Rico - Lindsay

I hate that money seems to rule the world, Rico. Awesome limerick! Hugs, Carolyn

Too bad it's so easy to poke holes in the 'Hole-y of Holies.' ~ gw

Your not wrong Rico, people at one time here in Ireland had to pay to get a good seat in church, roped off areas for the rich, down the back for poor, of course the priest would still preach from the pulpit, we’re all equal in Gods eyes, and everybody sat there week in week out, all changed now, thank God, great writing, cheers David

well said, rico! there's a lot about religion i don't understand and this is one of those bizarre contradictions...

thought provoking piece Rico, on reflection your thoughts are so correct... how about this one - a 'pastor' here had the congregation 'assist' him to purchase a house costing over half a million pounds yet many live in rented public housing - go figure !hugs jan xx

I do not understand why gods require places of worship be adorned with gold. The god of the Taliban only requires shooting a schoolgirl in the head, which is rewarded with a virgin in heaven - presumably a virgin with an hole in her head and brain splattered all over her face. Go figure!
