The worst nightmare: Going to Hell.

It shouldn’t be necessary to become monetarily rich to have a decent life. I think that’s what the great religious leaders throughout the ages told us. That guy Jesus, for instance. He encouraged the rich to give away their money. In pursuit of better things. Such as human decency. Seems to me that millionaires and billionaires weren’t Jesus’ kind of people. I wonder what he would think of modern day Wall Street bankers. Not much, I suspect. Anyway, I like to think about it. Makes me wonder what he’d do or say if he was walking on Earth today. My guess is that Jesus would conclude that he was having a nightmare. That he had gone to Hell. –Jim Broede
