> But you just got $6 billion Just checked my accounts, I didn't get $6B. Maybe the wire just hasn't come through, I'll check back tomorrow. Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.” $6B is what, 4% of his current net worth? For a family with a million dollar net worth that's about $40k to put it in more normal human perspectives. I think there's plenty of more socially bad ways for him to toss his wealth around. I applaud him for doing a bit. But I also don't exactly see it as some extreme amount of charity, because at his level it really isn't that extreme. | ||
