    That’s an odd expression

    Both for there being no god so any amount of money is more and for Christians being banned from having wealth

      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/
