2. I guess Jesus was just screwin' around with that camel passing through the eye of a needle stuff?
'...I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.' - Matthew 19:23-24

There are parallel versions in Mark 10:24-25 and Luke 18:24-25 as well, so the authors of these respective gospels must have considered it pretty fucking important.

Fact is, Jesus had a heckuva lot more to say on the subject of money (remember the moneychangers at the temple incident?) than He did on, say, homosexuality - which was absolutely NOTHING!
