There have been alot of posts about Michael Moore, I posted Michael Moore said that rich people are quote, 'kleptomaniacs and sociopaths... But the funny thing is that Michael Moore's net worth is $50 million dollars and i was blocked from making more posts?
Could anyone tell me why you would take Michael Moore seriously?
I dont understand why i keep getting banned. I am not posting insults or attacking anyone.

Many of the rich ARE in fact "kleptomaniacs and sociopaths"... Excessive attachment to possessions IS an illness. "Woe unto the rich!" cried Jesus, referring that category of sociopathic people. But that is not to say that he lumped all wealthy people together.
In the Gospels, in fact, Jesus has some rich friends. Mary of Magdala was well-to-do and shared selflessly. In fact, Mary, Joanna and Susanna were the first patrons of the "Jesus Movement". That is crystal clear in the Gospel of Luke:
""After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, [2] and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; [3] Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means." (Luke 8: 1-3)
So Jesus never "hated the rich". He only rebuked the sociopathic rich who refused to share with the less fortunate. He would have a field day here in contemporary America! In fact, Jesus would probably have been one of the first to OCCUPY WALL STREET. And the organizers would probably have had to take that WHIP out of his hands...:)
First of all you are taking the comment out of context. Second, Rich is a very subjective word.
thanks for the post i never new that about moore
