Ooops, missed one.

No, I don't recall the parable you're talking about. Maybe you can 
enlighten me. I suspect you're actually confusing a couple of different 
stories, but I understand the gist of your argument.

There's the story of the pharisee who said "God, I'm so glad I'm not 
like that sinner over there". In that comparison, I think that the 
pharisee would have to be you. I've never claimed to detest anyone one 
here. You put that claim up for me.

Then Jesus had another story, about a widow (widows had virtually no 
source of income) who gave a very small amount, while the rich were 
giving large amounts (many of them were giving from taking from others, 
such as the widow). Christ then explained that she gave more because 
they gave of their abundance, and she gave all she had.

We'll make the same comparison, and base it on percentage rather than $$ 
amounts.

I don't know where you've gotten the idea that I'm some sort of wealthy. 
I'm not, not in the monetary sense. I'm sure it's just another one of 
those assumptions you've made.

Wrong again.
