The bringing of iniquity to those who hate God

[JamieJ1989]

Thats interesting, must be the disproportion we have with the one percent having 90% of the wealth.

Since the 1% issue is a problem all over the world, all removing the bias from it would do it shift all the points to the left relative to their current positions. The trend would remain the same.

I did not say that God wants to keep us poor .. I said that the majority of people in heaven/paradise will be the poor .. it's not the same thing
The reason for people being rich and poor is not simply a matter that some people are smarter or harder working .. mankind tends to oppress one another and are often violent in their love of wealth.
To please Almighty God, we need to abstain from lying, cheating and greed .. this often causes them to be poorer than others



Yes, it is .. but how do you know how long the present-day rich countries will keep their privileges?

The majority of the reason for people being wealthy and better off, is clearly being smarter and harder working, the effort you put into your education the higher your chances of prosperity. It seems that those who are doing the oppressing are currently those who are living in the more impoverished parts of the world, and the institution doing the oppressing is a religious one.

It seems for as long as those poorer nations have a majority being devoutly religious, then they're the ones who will remain impoverished. So are unlikely to skew the offset anytime soon.

Sure but in the first graph U.S. remained an outlier when all of it was summed up. With all the states showing the trends but the sum total being an outlier you can see their must be a huge disproportion probably in particular states skewing the results.

I'm afraid not .. while there is clearly corruption in poorer countries, I'll think that you'll find that the gap between rich and poor in MOST countries is increasing .. this is due to the global, usurious financial system.
..and that is the OPPOSITE to what you claim ie. the institution doing the oppressing is a religious one
