    It’s a common expression, especially in the US South. And what gives you the idea that Christians are banned from having wealth?

        History? Have you looked at the wealth sequestered in churches?

          Yes, but they also ban Sodomy and have you seen priests?

          Or the bans on range weaponry but ma guns (predates gunpowder weapons)

              Having priests raping children is not allowed but it happens

              In 1139 the Pope banned crossbows (bows, slings, etc) because killing from a distance was against God

              As for wealth

              The collection plate is there to divide the town’s money up between everyone there so the poor can buy food for the week

              Greed and Gluttony are both banned and tie into wealth

              Some random nonsense for you https://www.epm.org/resources/2019/Dec/13/ten-ways-materialism-ruin/
