I think Jesus is really, really, really unequivocal about wealth being bad.

And Luke 16:9, which you quoted, is taken out of context.

> A lot of wealthy people are really generous.

Not so much that they give away all that they have, as Jesus commanded. So, more like "kinda really generous, but not enough that it hurts".

[I am an atheist, but I will not stand for antithetical repurposing of religious texts.]

What context am I missing?

>Not so much that they give away all that they have, as Jesus commanded

Matthew 19:16-30, which you're quoting, is taken out of context.
