Comment 11 by Lion IRC :

The bible, however, castigates the greedy and the selfish and warns them against their abuses of the poor (who, without food and housing are slaves) with stories about the rich man and Lazarus, about camels and the eye of a needle, about the sin of denying a worker their rightful wage (theft.)

The bible does everything but provide consistency and congruency.

The bible is just a source for christian doublespeak.

"And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame." Luke 16:24

Christians love torture, just like the Nazi's, just like the Stalinists and just like anyone who is demented enough to have lost their own humanity.
