Now Yorick, don't go dissing the Stockbrokers, there are very many who are christian too, they are not all Jewish or some other religion and just because you work with money does not mean you worship it..I work with computers...I do not worship them.[/QUOTE]And that is the key. What you worship. What is 'god' to you. Everyone has one. That which they give the most worth. Worth-ship -> worship. A christian stockbroker is using money, not worshipping money or the bottom line. Their priorities are different.[/QUOTE]Not trying to offend here Yorick because I do applaude your devotion, but it does sound to me like you are setting yourself up as a judge of how people relate to God, and that is the one and only judgement we aren't supposed to make...what is in a mans heart is up to God to judge.
