Then tell me how mod cons are such an awful thing. Especially with two kids to look after.

But yes, we can be too materialistic sometimes and its true you cant take it with you. Equally though, we only take what deeds we did with us to the next life, and it is impossible to buy virtue.

What's the purpose of money if not to spend it.??

Status: offline 		What does material gain have to do with heaven?

If one is a good person and is wealthy/ or even just comfortable then by all means enjoy it. Heck if one is a nasty person, enjoy it.
It all gets sorted in the end, or it doesn't.
Oh jeez I feel all cynical n stuff now lol. But it is what is inside a person, not their wallet. The wallet contents just make life nicer.

Something to do with the seven deadly sins i think, either greed, pride or both. But it's way to late for me to start thinking about things like that now anyway. I feel hells heat warming my feet already..
