Not true.. You need good credit to have money and make that money make you money. Or ask for a loan from a person instead of a bank.
Greed is a sin. It is subjective, having billions doesn't automatically make you a greedy person. If you have billions, are you giving to charities?
I'm Muslim so here's this:
No, I don't hate poor people. I was born into a lower middle class family and if the world was perfect, all humans would be wealthy and live financially stress free, accessible to any and all resources needed to prosper.
If you think having more money than 99% of the people that have ever existed on earth is not greed... not even god could save you.
You could give out 99% of that money and live a lavish life.
If greed is subjective then sins are subjective. Therefore not paying back your debts is subjective. There's no objective meaning to anything, it seems.
So you're saying that if you're wealthy to an extreme, that not even giving to charity, helping the needy, will save you from the definition/title of being greedy?
Okay.
Yes- especially people like Bill Gates, who gives to charities he controls, so basically he's still benefiting from the power his insane wealth brings, but gets to pretend he's helping the world.
