Do you think my mom is right?

[Anonymous]

Good people became rich because they are blessed by God and mean and bad people get karma or not be successful in life because they are mean no blessings come in their life. Whenever we see a rich man my mother would say" look at him he's so blessed because he's so nice and God blessed him because he is a good person"

No, she is not right at all.

Material wealth and success are not by themselves signs of God's favor, nor is lack thereof a sign of His wrath. There are good, generous, and charitable people who are wealthy and those who are not. Likewise, there are good, generous, and charitable poor people and there are also those who are greedy, lazy, resentful, and malicious; socialism objectively does more to enable that than it does to stir compassion and charity in those of means.

If a person is rich, that's all it says about them. That they're rich. It doesn't say anything about their intelligence, their work ethic, their character, or anything else like that. The only thing that can say anything about those aspects about them is them.

Thank you for MHO 🙌

No, she isn't. I know many wealthy people who do not believe in God. All my friends are far wealthier than the average person in the US, and none are religious. In the United States, the most religious states are also the poorest and the least healthy. All that church doesn't seem to help them very much.

exactly, no expectation nor offer "follow god and win joy" but you will suffer for me.

[ShesRad80]

good people become rich? hmm then she thinks all of hollyweird is also good, they are rich after all?

totally not right, untrue, silly thought process

[Flower7]

No, this is definitely not true. A lot of things about life aren’t fair.

[Lliam]

Absolutely, positively NOT. Almost all of the richest people are evil, predatory psychopaths.
And some of the kindest, most generous people I've ever met were poor.

[strateguy632]

that is how they got rich... stop on others to rise.

[strateguy632]

a jewish rabbi wrote that, but it violated his own holy book in ecclesiastic book. similarly jesus taught the rich have an obstacle, so , more likely that rich far from goodness and righteousness.

[jshm2]

Other way round, kiddo.

Rich people are assholes far from God. God gives them enough to hang themselves with, so they stray and don't seek to be better people.

[Anonymous]

No, that’s stupid. You get rich by stealing from others and screwing then over. Or your ancestors did. Rich people are scum and should be reviled.

[Anonymous]

Of course not. Some of the richest people on earth are among the most evil ones.

[Staximus]

She's crazy. Many rich people got rich because they didn't let morals, principles, and other people get in their way.

[exitseven]

No, there are plenty of rich people that are real bastards. I think maybe it is a prerequisite.

[Anonymous]

Of course she isn't right, she is just a religious nut so everything she experiences is framed in a religious context.

[OddBeMe]

Chuckles, that’s cute. Wrong. But cute.

[DryGermanGuy]

Ugh… 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
